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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
