Any Las Vegas sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I am also in LV. I did the sleeve with Dr. Umbach and Dr. Apel at Blossom. I wish everyone success with their procedures.

Congratulations! It will go by super quick! I am exactly 4 weeks post op. I had to do a 6 month supervised diet. This has been the best decision of my life! Who is your doctor?

Dr James Atkinson of the Surgical Weight Control Center.

I was going with them.. But was told they have surgery wont have dates as far out as into the fall of 2017 ... Ugh

I hope not I will done with the supervised diet in March 2017 and I am hoping for an April or May surgery date... I dont want to wait till September 2017... ugh! is right! I will have to call and verify the dates, I feel like I should have been told this when I was at the benefits meeting. Not good!

I'm Las Vegas, and have almost two months to go before my surgery. It will be moved up, though. I'm with Dr. Soong at the Surgical Weight Control Center.

Wishing everybody a safe and happy journey.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
