Can anyone recommend a primary care physician in Vegas?

I am approved for surgery on 4-13 ((yeah)) but my PCP doesn't agree with WLS and said to rejoin WW.

Needless to say I would like to find a PCP that supports WLS to do my follow ups with as I am going thru with the surgery on 4/13. The surgery center does some follow ups I know but I still need a new PCP.

Thank u in advance!!!

My doctors name and phone number is Dr Darzev 456-7255 she is great. I have already done my blood test and do my EKG tomorrow. Hope this helps. Who is doing your surgery?

I am under the HPN of Nv plan, and my PCP is Dr. Metcalfe in Henderson. He didn't really comment much on my decision, but was very accommodating in ordering all the necessary tests. This helped keep my cost own as I chose to self-pay rather than jump thru the insurance hoops!

Thanks For the recommendations - I will def look into them :) will def need a new PCP come April lol

I am going thru Oband surgery center - quite a few ladies here at work went thru them for the sleeve with no complications and they have very low out of pocket expenses (most of it was covered by my ins) otherwise I don't think I could afford the surgery.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
