Hello Everyone,

Im in Las Vegas, and starting my WLS journey. I met with my dietian today, and have 4 months of dieting before I can get an approval. I met with Dr. Atkins, has anyeone been sleeved by him?

I live in the Vegas area (Henderson) but went to Dr Aceves in Mexicali for my surgery. I'm a self-pay so to go to a surgeon who has done more than 1500 sleeves for 1/3 the price was a no-brainer for me. It was an excellent experience.

I'm also from Las Vegas (SW) here and using Dr. Umbach. I have really enjoyed working with him and I agree Mindy is great!

I also had my surgery by Dr Umbach on March 8, 2013. I live overseas so I don't have any contact with the office except via email. I thought Dr Umbach was a great surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. Actually, I have a few of my friends are having surgery with him soon.

      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! 😞
