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.

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
