Anyone gone to Blossom Bariatric (self-pay) in Las Vegas?
LBmom replied to kmn1109's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
i went to Blossom as well and they were great. I paid the amount I was quoted before surgery. Some of the tests/procedures were billed to my insurance but what I was quoted I paid. Very professional and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Good luck! -
Yes, great experience. I was sleeved there 2/14

February 2019 weight loss buds
LBmom replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
This is what I was given, they said it was full of electrolytes to help dehydration after surgery. I think they also said it may prevent hunger after surgery. It was my choice whether to drink or not, i did drink whether it helped or not who knows! -

LBmom replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had the sleeve and outpatient released about 2-3 hours after surgery. First 24 hours were tough but got better every hour. Walk walk walk, sip sip sip. You will be great! Good luck!! -

LBmom replied to jazlynvictoriaxo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was able to take Tylenol’ pills. The first 24 hours were the toughest but it gets better everyday. I echo what everyone else says, walk walk walk and sip sip sip! Good luck! -

Sending positive thoughts your way.

The first 24 hours are the worst! Hold on and keep your chin up every hour will feel better. You got this!

You may try a stool softener, I was given Colace, it could be a coincidence, but soon after I was able to pass gas.

Thank you both for sharing your experiences and I am glad to hear that you both are doing so well! Congrats! I will be going there next week and I wondered if managed the day of surgery not staying in the hospital when so may other programs keep them at least 1 night. Also, did you fly home the day after surgery and was that troublesome for you in anyway? Thank you for sharing your experiences and again Congrats!! -
Thank you for the feedback I am glad to hear everything went well. I wish you continued success in your recovery.

Glad you are feeling better. How was your experience at Blossom?

WHL - sorry to hear that, I know it can be frustrating when you are planning on it happening and then things change. Virtual hug 🤗

I love San Antonio! You got this! It will be a great February for us both.

Blossom Bariatrics in Las Vegas, so I will be traveling too. I have seen many positive reviews from having their procedure in Mexico. Will you be traveling far from home? Were they helpful when you were setting your surgery up?

LBmom replied to OlRachel's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Calling everyday now and it seems that they are estimating longer and longer! Today they said it may take 45 days, really ? That is onto next year when I switch insurance...I am so bummed. -
