I would like to see if anyone is interested in starting a local chapter in my area. I live in Henderson Nevada, on the south-east side of Las Vegas.

Didn't know we have a Las Vegas group but is kind of lonely lol

Well hope everyone is doing good!

henderson here as well near college and 95

I had my surgery done by Atkinson

I wonder if we could attend each other's meetings. I am curious about each doctors information. I wish there was a group in Henderson.

I had my surgery with Atkinson too!

I have been searching for my fellow Nevada peeps! lol glad I found this post. Is there a local group? my work hours never allow me to get to the support group Atkinson has so I'm left with forums. would be great to connect with others in my area.

I tried to see if it was possible to go to Blossom's support group and they told me no because I'm not a patient of theirs. That sucks, the one my doctor has is on the days I work and can't change my schedule.

This place has great support too

It does but sometimes I want to actually be at a support meeting to meet people who are local to me.

Hi everyone when did you guys have your surgery? I had mine last year in July with Dr. Atkinson

I had mine this Feb 9th with Atkinson

Daveo that's great! How much have you lost?

I've lost 123 pounds since surgery as of last week. haven't checked this week. I went to my 6 month check up on Monday and it says I was two more pounds lighter but I am counting when I am in normal work clothes since that is when I weigh myself.

I had two sleeve surgeries done by Dr. Hucbach with Blossom. My stomach grew back and I put back my weight on from the first one. According to the doctor it is very rare, had the second on March 2015. Had the first one on December 7 2012.

But I am not lossing any weight with the second one, I am back to my old habits and having a horriable time. All stress and medical problems. I haven't been to any group meetings, because I am afraid to live my husband alone. He is very ill. It is very depressing to have this happen.

Good for you ???? you are doing really good. I have lost around 90 something pounds would like to lose like 30 more pounds for sure.

Derecksgram sorry to hear about your husband. And hopefully you start slowly with different routines so you can start working out so you won't feel bad.

@@lovingdavid have you been exercising? I haven't started exercising yet and I know I need to. Are you finding it hard for the 30 to come off?

@@dereksgram sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with the surgery, I didn't know that could happen with it growing back.
