This is what happened to me after having RNY with Dr. Umbach
Apr 14, 2010
I'm 15 months out after RNY with Dr. Umbach (1-7-09) I'm 97 pounds now because he paralyzed my stomach when he cut my Vagas Nerve. He told me he "doesn't do after care." He never told me what happened why I felt so bad why I couldn't stop vomiting, why I kept passing out, nothing all he kept doing was taking back into the operating room fore "exploratory" surgery.Finally on my 3rd week out I got a second opinion this dr said "this was the worst craftsmanship he has ever seen" and I was "butchered".
OK so Dr. Umbach caused Gastroparisis I have now had 11 corrective surgeries since 1-7-09 all a failure to repair my digestive track and stomach. I spent 50 days last year in the hospital then went home on IV's everyday for 3months.
Then January of this year my body had it (1-26-10) I had to have a gastrectomy surgery. That is where they had to remove my whole stomach, Pylorus, Duodenum, Stoma, large portion of my Small Intestine. While the surgeon (not dr. umbach) was doing the gastrectomy surgery he found I had a Fistula thru my gastric pouch, a hernia, my bowels were twisted so bad he had to do 2 bowel reconstruction. So all that is left is my esophagus is connected to the remaining small intestine. I was gutted like a fish.
I'm 97 pounds I spent 3weeks in the ICU on TPN & Feeding Tube at the same time my prealbumine was an 8 (18 is low 8 is deadly) I have been in the hospital since 1-26-10 and won't be getting out any time soon. Today is day 79 in a row at the hospital.
So if you want to use Dr. Umbach as your surgeon at Desert Springs Hospital in Las Vegas this is what happened to me so its your choice. I hope no one else will ever have to go thru what I am. I am grateful when I wake up every day but my quality of life is horrible. I'm 30 years old and will be on a feeding tube up my nose for the rest of my life and I now will live in an acute care facility (old folks home). So please research your Dr it can cost you your life if you don't.
