I didn't know about it until I read your post. I thought they were having one in March but I must have been canned. I will go to this in July. See you then. Linda

Topic: RE: Visiting Vegas
When is their anniversary? You do know OH is having an event in Las Vegas on July 6,2007. Since your Mom has had Gastric Bypass Surgery too this would really be great for both of you. Check out events. I went to my first event last year and want to make one at least once a year. It was really Great and you meet so many of your peers.  I am looking into going to this one and I want to spend an extra day to see the sights of Vegas. Sounds like something I can't even imagine. Good luck. See you lighter. Joanne

Topic: OH event in Vegas
Is anyone planning on attending the OH Vegas event in July?  I have never been to one and was thinking about going.  I need something to get my butt in gear and back on track, I have been slacking lately.  If anyone else is attending I would love to meet you. Dana

Hi there, I don't live in Reno, but about 85 miles away and my surgeon is in Reno. Who is your doctor?

I'm in Reno, my husband and I  both had RNY, although I had mine in Chicago.. I am also having a slight revision on 6/6 due to some stomach issues I am having, they are non-related to my RNY surgery.. Anyway who's your surgeon?  Debby

If you can't stand behind the troops... stand in front of them... PLEASE!

Topic: RE: Looking for a support group.
Sorry i am just now responding to your question I always forget about this Nevada forum. Anyway, Dr. Teng has a support group the last Monday of each month as long as it is not a holiday like this month. So the next one is the last monday in june. It is at Mountain View hospital at 7pm. No fee to come and you do not need to be one of his patients. Hope to see you there. Linda

Topic: RE: Help! Help! Help!

Since who accepts medicaid can change from month to month, the fastest way to find a surgeon is to go here:  http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/professionals/showd ocs-all.php?State=NV and then just call each one near you to see who is currently accepting it.  I sure wish there were an easier way.  I did notice that in recent months medicaid patients saw:

Dr.  Trotter in Carson City - http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+p rofile+Lee+Trotter+gts.html Dr. Atkinson in LV - http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+p rofile+James+D+Atkinson+lgf.html and it appears that Dr. Watson has seen patients with both Medicaid and Senior Dimensions in the last few years.  http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+p rofile+Rober****son+fmj.html I hope this helps & Best of success to you! ~Tooter
