:)Hey thats a good idea, I didnt know that! I actually see two doctors rite now and I am going to bug the both of them until they get me approved! This surgery is expensive, but worth it from what I hear. My friend just got banded in Mexico by Dr. Joya and she said it was a great experience and she feels real good! If you go to Mexico its 1/2 the cost

I don't live in Vegas but I do live in Nevada. Having my surgery done in Reno. My insurance wanted me to wait 12-24 months. I felt that wasn't a choice for me. I decided to go self-pay. I'm sure that is what they wanted me to do. Darn insurance companies anyways.

Good luck fellow Nevadans!:clap2:

I was Banded in March By Fisher, he is a real down to earth pain in your ass Dr..

What Im tring to say he really cares about his PTs.. but he doesnt take any crap from them, he is so blunt, some people think he is rude.

I love that about him..

I got a medical loan to cover the 15 K of expences, I pay 420 a month, I think of it like a car payment well Its just harder to Rpo.. I suppose.. LOL

I currently work out at mornings at LVAC over on Eastern and Pebble if anyone wants to join me PM Me..

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
