| - Weight and weight loss is not always a pleasant subject. If you are at all even remotely considering any type of surgical weight loss (wls), I'd highly recommend starting with Blossom Bariatrics where you will be treated with compassion, respect, and great care, as well as receive lifelong support. I am also impressed that they will assist patients who may have had surgery elsewhere too. Weight loss surgery is NOT the easy way out and is NOT cheating.
I had vertical gastric sleeve (vsg) in 2016 by Dr. Tom Umbach with Dr. Matt Apel assisting. They call their procedure 'safe sleeve' referring to Dr. Umbach's patented method. I reached my goal weight in 9 months and continued to lose more past that. Blossom completely prepared me to be successful. I have been able to maintain my loss thanks to the good nutrition education I received from Blossom. Having vsg at Blossom was one of the best decisions I ever made and my only regret is not being brave enough to seek it out sooner. I am now able to do more physical activities, breathe easier, and just generally enjoy my life more.
I want to start with what I think is the core reason (outside of medical expertise) for the outstanding experience I've had a Blossom: these are genuine people who have a love for and feel moved to help others. Every time I go to visit, I am always in awe of what they have added, adjusted, or changed to best serve their patients. Everything, down to the furnishings in the office, has been cultivated with patients in mind. They are always striving for improvement in every aspect of their practice. The staff is outstanding. Dr. Umbach has assembled a great team who works hard to make sure patients are successful in their weight loss journey. I have seen all three doctors (Umbach, Apel, and Schwoerer). Each has their own personality, but the continuity of care is nothing short of spectacular. All of the supporting administrative and medical staff are also incredibly warm and professional. They are as equally committed to your success as you are; they are truly invested in your care.
This practice does everything in its power to prepare patients for their weight loss journey. Not only pre-op but post op as well. Their on-staff nutritionists and therapists provide support and classes. They have some light exercise classes to help get people moving. There is a mini "store" in the office for bariatric products, as well as a full online store. They have partnered with a meal delivery service. They offer a free photoshoot to patients who are ready to show off their success.
I happily recommend Blossom every time I have the opportunity to do so.
