Dr. Atkinson/Dr. Soong, Las Vegas, NV???



Recommended Posts

There is very limited posting in the regional board, so I thought I would post here to see if anyone else is a pt of Dr. Atkinson or Dr. Soong at SWCC in Las Vegas. It can never hurt to be armed with more information going into my procedure!

Dr. Soong did my surgery in July, 2009. I was very happy with the surgery, after care and now my fills. Please contact me if you have specific questions, I will happily be honest with you about everything. Overall, I don't think you could find a better doctor.

Thanks, Raych. My surgery will be performed by Dr. Atkinson at Desert Springs. Was your surgery there, and how did you like the hospital?

Dr. Soong also did my lap band surgery in December 2009. No complications and has a great staff. If you have any questions or concerns let me know. Will be happy to talk to you anytime

Dr. Soong did my band in March 2010. Very happy customer! Did get it done at Desert Springs and they were all really nice there.

My only complaint was that my surgery was scheduled for 9am and I didn't get in until about 3pm. Otherwise, it was all good. Just bring a book or something to keep you occupied while you wait. Since it's a one-day surgery it was fine. Good luck.

Did you still get to go home that night? I'm not scheduled to arrive until 10, surgery within 1-2 hours of that. :/

Yep, got home about 6. I think they only do surgery one or two days per week so they schedule quite a few. Just be patient.

      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!
