Topic: RE: Thrift Shop Suggestions?
Depending on where you are staying ... there are Savers shops in various parts of the city. The two that I know of -- W Spring Mountain & Decatur (in the west) and Maryland Parkway and E Charleston (in the East), N Rancho Dr & Cheyenne (in the North/west). I'm not too sure in Henderson or South area. Another one that is good is also on E Charleston Blvd, East of Maryland Pkwy near 10th street - Charleston Outlet -- A LARGE Selection of women's clothing. In North Las Vegas at E Lake Mead Blvd & Bruce, behind Arbys there's one (but they've changed their name). On the east side, Nellis & E Charleston -- Goodwill Shop. ... can you tell I live on the East side?

I'm going to be in Vegas this week-end. Since I've lost 35 pounds, I'd like to find a couple of good thrift shops or consignment shops in Las Vegas that I could check out. Any suggestions?

Topic: RE: info on dr barry fisher
I wish I knew 5 mos ago what I know now. Before you waste your time and money jumping through all of the insurance and Dr. ordered tests, you should go see the "so called" Physycolgist. That way you can be flunked out of your "phych" exam right at the beginning and told that you have "issues" to work out for about 3 months before you will be considered for surgery. (Translated=your insurance will pay for 3 months of therapy so then, and only then, will you be cured enough for this surgery) This exact same scenario has been done to more than just myself. I am looking for another Dr. here in Las Vegas, anyone have suggestions? Good luck!
