Hi guys. I moved to Henderson about a year ago. I had RNY in May 2001 and would like to get back into a local support group. Can anyone help me out? Thanks Ed

We have been living in the Reno area and I have had no problem getting the childs price for the buffets here. At regular restraunts I order off the childrens/senior menu.The only stupid question is the one not asked. I think the only place that has turned me down is the "Chinese Buffet" and IHOP. So we don't give them our business.Have fun!!!

I attended Dr. Atkinson and Dr. Fisher's seminar last week. It was very informative and they did have four patients there to answer questions. What bothered me was that patients stay only overnight in the hospital. I mean--this is major abdominal surgery--and this is the standard of care in the USA? I am a cash paying customer, therefore I have decided to go to India for my surgery. I will stay in the hospital four nights after surgery and then another week in a hotel before I fly back home to Henderson. Private message me or give me a call (work number is 267-3200--I work for the City of Henderson) if you want more information.

Hi Amy, Well, as a local of Las Vegas for over 35 years - I can tell you, us locals don't go to the Strip very often. When we do, its usually for a show or to show it off to our out-of-town visitors! For shows -- my husband and I have seen Mystere' at the Treasure Island, and Celine Dion at Ceasars Palace - Both of which are really good. We have also went to concerts at Mandalay Bay's House of Blues, and we saw a show at the Luxor - Drew Careys Improv all stars. But I found a link that will give you all the different shows playing and an idea what they are about. http://www.visitlasvegas.com/vegas/play/shows/results.jsp?page=1 We haven't seen either Jubilee or the Folies, but they must be pretty good being that they have played for over 20 years. I know that at the Imperial Palace - the "Legends in Concert" was really good about 15 years ago, but they have different 'acts' every year. When we went, Michael Jackson was still popular, and Charlie Daniels, but now I think they have impersonators of more recent people. The Monorail is a good way to get around for less money than a taxi -- and if you take the bus, make sure you have your money/wallet close to your heart (in your bra or a belt wallet!) so that pickpockets don't strike! For food, .... hummm, I'm not a good place to judge that, as we usually stay around in our neighborhood for restaurants. But if you like Chinese/Asian food - PF Changs at the Aladdin (not sure when they will change their name to Planet Hollywood), has really good food - plus they have seafood, fish, chicken - all types of healthier items - high in protein - plus they offer gluten free dishes. My favorite dish is the Cantonese Scallops or Shrimp - stir fried with garlic and snow peas. They also offer lettuce wraps with chicken. Just thinking about this is making me hungry. Geesh. So, just choose wisely. Walking is always good, and March and April the weather should be nicer -- maybe a little breezy, not too cold. Wishing you well in your journey, Tracey B in LV 404/342/150 Lap-RNY 11-21-06 http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/traceyb_lv/
