Calling All Las Vegas Sleevers... If you live in Las Vegas, NV and have had or are planning to have the sleeve, I'd love for you to share your story!

In a city full of scantily clad men and women, night clubs, strip clubs, show girls, and other image based focuses it can be hard to be "The Fat One". Vegas Sleevers, let’s start chatting and sharing our successes, trials, tribulations, and wow moments as we find our new, healthier place in Sin City!

I live in the Vegas area (Henderson) and will have surgery with Dr Aceves on 8/31. I've worked with physicians in this area for almost 6 years. I've met your surgeon and he is excellent. I didn't know he was doing the sleeve now. I thought he just did band and rny. There are very few wls surgeons in the area I would trust, but he is definitely one of them. The biggest complaint I've heard about him is that he turns most of the aftercare over to his team. That makes sense to me cause well, he's a surgeon. He can do what he does best and leave the aftercare to those who do what they do best. But some patients are kind of hurt by that.

My ins doesn't cover wls so I'm go to Mexico with Dr Aceves. I have to be honest, if I had wls coverage and my ins didn't work with someone like Dr Atkinson I would self-pay anyway.

Hello, I live in Las Vegas and was sleeved almost 7 months ago by Dr. Soong. I can tell you it was the best decision I ever made but it has also been a struggle to get use to eating right, drinking enough water and exercising. I have lost a total of 70 pounds to date and it feels like my body has been in a stall for the past 2 months.

I have gone to a few of them and find them very helpful. I am actually going to one tomorrow night at 6:00 with Doctor Atkinson for the Sleeve and Bypass patients.

Is it ok to go if you haven't been sleeved YET? Do you have to sign up for them or can you just walk in? I'm scheduled for 10-22 and want to see as much up front as I can.

You just walk right on in. No appointment or signing up is necessary. If you end up coming tonight and want to talk to me, I will be sitting towards the front. I am wearing a muti color dress and black wrap with my hair in a ponytail.
