Doctor Um did a Gastric Bypass on me and now I am living a very happy and healthy lifestyle. He answers all of your questions and concerns and will guide you through the whole process. I know bariatric surgery is scary, but if Doctor Um is your surgeon, I promise you will be more than okay. Doctor Um and the whole bariatric team at West LA gave me my life back, thank you for everything Doctor Um, seriously… THANK YOU!!
