:)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..

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
