Las Vegas NV Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! I'm looking to join or start a local VSG support group as well as the one's on here.

Is there anyone who has been sleeved in Vegas that would be interested?

I was sleeved By Dr Umbach in Vegas (baby!) but live in Portland, OR. But hey, I'm going to be there at the end of this month for a conference. If y'all get something going, I'd love to drop in.

I'm heading to Vegas next month (ugh!) for Dr. Umbach. Traveling from Montana.

Hi AnnaLV,

I'm here in Vegas & I've been looking for a support group! Does Dr. Hanna have monthly support group meetings?

What side of town are you on?

I'm in the Southwest. Where are you?

I'm in Aliante. I go to Umbachs meetings a few times a month & that's in Henderson.

Hi PdxMan,

Support groups are at Umbach's new office, Blossom Bariatrics. They change monthly & you can get the schedule online. When will you be in Vegas?

Anna,

I just sent you an invite on MFP. Please excuse my diary, I just had my tonsils taken out.

Oct 26th-30th. I looked for the schedule online, but couldn't find it. Could you provide a link, please?

I'm staying at the MGM. If we got 4 of us together, I could expense a meal as I'm sure 4 sleevers could probably share one entree!

Yup, thanks. Nothing but the post surgery diet plan, it appears. Oh well. But if anyone wants to get together for a Protein shake, I'm buying!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
