I was ... 3 years ago. Who is your surgeon?

Mine was Umbach. Let me tell you, it was hot. I don't know if you have ever been in desert climates in the summer, but it is nothing short of amazing if you have never acclimated to that type of climate. Even before your surgery, be sure to stay well hydrated. I thought it was great, though, as there is plenty of air conditioned casino space to walk and walk and walk and sip and sip and sip ...

Winner! Winner! pureed chicken Dinner!!

Sergey lyass is my surgeon. I live here so I do know how hot it is lol. Been here since 1987 and still run and hide from the heat hang out at the mall or the theater. Sometimes it is so hot there's power outages. We Were going to try to plan a camping trip during August maybe to get out of here.

I have to go to Vegas in July for business. On my birthday no less. I will be packing my own meals and plan on using the pool while I'm there.

And the blackjack tables. ;)

I wish you a healthy surgery, and speedy recovery!

Be well…

Ah yes, the rolling blackouts. My mother lives in Palm Desert, so they have them there, too.

I used to live in Palm Desert, as well, and I know the July heat, as do you. My wife has been down to the desert, but always in the spring. Hot, but nothing like July. She has never had to acclimate to those conditions and it was quite uncomfortable for her, coming from the Great NorthWest. You can say, yes, it is a dry heat, but 115 degrees is just uncomfortable.

Good luck and keep us updated. As I understand it, there are a few good support groups in the Vegas area. Have you searched the BP site for info?

Not really . I think I need to go on my computer and search around and learn how to maneuver around rather than my phone. There are things that are available that I cannot do on my phone I understand. Like add friends. Thanks for the info though

      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!!

      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... :(
