Hi Cindy!!!! And welcome. The Nevada Board is slow...not much posting on it. 5 lbs since surgery...know it doesn't sound like much but GOOD FOR YOU!!! Most people actually gain close to 10 lbs while in the hospital due to all of the IV fluids. Welcome to the losers bench.

Hello and welcome.  I assume you're going to have your surgery with Western Bariatic.  I had my first consult there yesterday with Dr. Sasse.  Next week I start the UNR diet for 13 weeks which is required by my ins.

Thanks.  So far so good. I'm just a little frustrated because I keep getting different answers from different medical professionals within the office where my surgeon is.  I will do whatever they tell me to do, I just wish they could agree.   Tomorrow I go for my week checkup so hopefully all my questions will be answered.  So far I've lost only 6 lbs since surgery which surprises me since I haven't eatin ANYTHING!!!  Oh well, it definitely could be worse.  I feel pretty good for the most part.  I feel like I could never eat again if that's what they told me to do, but I know that's not the case.

How is everything with you?  Stay in touch.

Hi there-

Weclome to the board. There is a lot of good information here, especially on the main forum. I had my RNY on 10/27 and I am doing well. I hope everything went well for you with the surgery.

Topic: My consult is on the 18th of this month!
Hey everyone, this is my first time posting so bare with me. My consult is on the 18 and I'm really excited to get things going with this lengthy process. I was wondering if any of you had and any advice on questions I should ask at the apointment. I'm thinking about lapband/ or realise band but RNY isn't out of the picture either just want to talk to my docter about which he thinks would be better for me. I plan on asking all the normal questions, just thought I'd see if there was anything anyone wished they would have asked about before their surgery that way I can go in as prepaired as possible! Thanks

Mine is Dr. Umbach. I had my surgery in Washington but he took me on with no question. He's off Sunset near Stephanie.

My surgeon is James Atkinson at Surgical Weight Control Center.  I know his associate does the band work.  His name is Dr. Soong.  They are on Valley View at Meadows Mall.  Good Luck.

Hi,
My name is Dianne... I went to the orientation last night with Dr. Watson of WBS.  I am considering choosing Dr. Sasse as my surgeon.  Tell me what you think of him after you come home from the hospital. 

I pray you will have an uneventful surgery, speedy recovery and steady progress.

Topic: Fill doctor in Vegas?
Hi, I had my surgery in Denver with Dr. Kirshenbaum and have been very happy although I need a fill doctor close by.  Does anyone know of a doctor who has experience and who will take an patient who went to another surgeon for surgery?

I know there is a Fill Center doctor but I can't find information on him.  Anyone else?

Thanks!
