Las vegas surgeons/patients?

[NYC_gal 0]

I'm moving from NY to the Las Vegas area...

can anyone recommend a doc in NV? Preferably decently close to Las Vegas?

I checked the Nevada page on here and it just lists the surgeons [so please don't direct me there], and it lists posts on very few of the doctors listed but nothing came up when I clicked it anyway.

I want to hear from people who have used whatever surgeon. :confused:

oh and p.s. yes I had the surgery already.... just looking to keep up with a doc in my new area. Thanks all!

i had my sleeve with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali - it's a 4 hr drive to Las Vegas - or a one hour flight. aprox.

He and his staff are very professional and reliable. I have nothing but good comments about him and the hospital's service. Check them out!!:confused:

I was banded last week w/ Dr. Darren Soong in Las Vegas. He and Dr. Atkinson run the "Gastric Band Institute of Las Vegas". I really like Dr Soong and they have an office in the central area and another in the southeast. I traveled here for the surgery and did alot of research before choosing them, they seem to be the best in the area.

You went down to Vegas from Alaska?

Hm. I used to live in Alaska too lol, in 05-06.

But thank you for the recommendation. I will def. call and see if they will take on a patient who's already had surgery.

Yep, flew to Las Vegas for the surgery. My kids live here so I am recuperating with them. I'm self pay and didn't want to go out of the country.

Also I didn't want to use Drs in Alaska. I didn't think they had done a lot of the surgeries, and there are none in my town anyway.

Good luck with your move! Sharon

I also went through the Gastric Band Institute. Dr. Atkinson performed my surgery. I'm 3 weeks post-op. Their staff is very friendly and have answered any concerns / questions I had. Check them out.

I came from NY 6 years ago with my husband and had my lap band done by Dr. ATkinson and Dr. Soong in Las vegas. I cannot say enough good about them and their office. I am at goal with 87 pds lost as of today and have had no problems or any fills.

I am one of the few that never needed a fill and love my band. They are wonderful and knowledgeable people with a terrific staff and you will be very happy with them.

Hope you have good luck with them and enjoy Las Vegas.:thumbup:
