I'm still waiting for final approval

Hi Scott,

I am 8 days away from my surgery in Reno, NV. I live in Northern California but have to travel to Reno for care over 3 hours one way). I am going to Western Bariatric Surgical Center and Dr. Mark Kozar is my Surgeon. I am very excited.

I hope you are approved, this seems like the best solution for many. My daughter has the Lap-Band and that was not the solution for me. I started this journey thinking RNY but, my doctor discussed VSG and after several months searching and really reading a lot from actual people on this site - it helped me make a final decision.

There does not seem to be many folks responding to a Nevada calling but, I know there are many who have had this surgery.

Fingers are crossed for your approval! I wish you all the best.

Hi I am also a Nevada Sleever, had surgery 10/10/11 in Las Vegas and I am feeling amazing!!

HI,

Sleeve done 8 months ago.

Moving to Henderson in a couple of months. Currently in Maui.

Anybody know if there is a support group there?

Thanks

Hey Everyone! =)

I'm in Las Vegas and I'm going at the beginning of the year to be sleeved. I'm super excited but I've had a hard time finding support groups here that aren't associated with doctors offices here. I think I'm one of those people who will definitely need the support, but I just can't figure out where to get it here.

I'm also in Vegas. I'm in the month 5 of my 6 month medically supervised diet. Tomorrow is my weigh in. Only one more month and then everything can be submited to the insurance company.

Savvyshamrock, I'm with you. I don't know where the support groups are.

Tell you what Tiffani, if we can't find one we'll start our own! =)

My husbands company is really into the revitalization of downtown so there are tons of places we can meet up and hang out! =)

Congrats on pushing through the supervised diet and good luck with your weigh in!

I've been trolling around the other boards so I didn't know this was out here. I'm in Henderson (when not on the road) if anyone needs some assistance or just wants to talk. My wife is also a sleever.

Awesome, I'm in the Southwest part of the valley.

I am in Boulder City, hoping to have my surgery next month.

Had my surgery December 12,2011 in Las Vegas Neveda with Dr Atkins. They have support groups, Clothes exchange and you can get your supplements from them also. Call and check with them. Surgical Control Weight Center 1-702- 313-8446 they are good.

I'm in Fallon! Not been sleeved yet, June! I will be going to Mexico to see Dr Ramos Kelly! I have been through all the hours with the insurance just to chicken out or be talked out of it. So, this being my third time, I found out after going to the seminar (for the 3rd time) that my hubby's new insurance doesn't cover wls! Sigh, just my luck. So, I have been researching Mexico and it's my best bet. I like what the sleeve offers (less probs, not intestine te-route) but not sure I will be able to lose all I need to (125ish) still waffling between sleeve & rny

I'm in Reno. Just found this forum about a week ago. I wanted to go to Western Bariatric but my insurance doesn't cover so I'm going to Mexicali in May with Dr. Aceves.

Dr Aceves did my band to sleeve revision about a year ago. Both he and Dr Campos did a great job and the hospital was so clean.

Good Luck. We just moved to Henderson and after we get settled I will be looking for a support group.

I'm in las Vegas & just got sleeved on March 2nd by Dr. Soong. It's been a rough few days. I have pain in my left shoulder when I take a deep breath. Hard to drink any fluids because it hurts. Everything has to be warmed to be tolerated. Anyone else have these issues?
