Las Vegas NV Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! I'm looking to join or start a local VSG support group as well as the one's on here.

Is there anyone who has been sleeved in Vegas that would be interested?

I was sleeved By Dr Umbach in Vegas (baby!) but live in Portland, OR. But hey, I'm going to be there at the end of this month for a conference. If y'all get something going, I'd love to drop in.

I'm heading to Vegas next month (ugh!) for Dr. Umbach. Traveling from Montana.

Hi AnnaLV,

I'm here in Vegas & I've been looking for a support group! Does Dr. Hanna have monthly support group meetings?

What side of town are you on?

Hey Molly, he does! I am going to ask about them at my two week appointment.

I'm in the Southwest. Where are you?

I'm in Aliante. I go to Umbachs meetings a few times a month & that's in Henderson.

Hi PdxMan,

Support groups are at Umbach's new office, Blossom Bariatrics. They change monthly & you can get the schedule online. When will you be in Vegas?

Anna,

I just sent you an invite on MFP. Please excuse my diary, I just had my tonsils taken out.

Oct 26th-30th. I looked for the schedule online, but couldn't find it. Could you provide a link, please?

I'm staying at the MGM. If we got 4 of us together, I could expense a meal as I'm sure 4 sleevers could probably share one entree!

Yup, thanks. Nothing but the post surgery diet plan, it appears. Oh well. But if anyone wants to get together for a Protein shake, I'm buying!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
