Topic: RE: Fat-Friendly Gynecologist in Las Vegas / Henderson
I used to go to Dr. Jones when I was 300 lbs and he never said a word about my weight... I loved going to him... am now in Reno and just found a wonderful female gyn who is easy to talk with. I highly recommend Dr. Jones in Henderson...
Topic: Official White Flag This Week!
I threw out the official white flag this week. I am two weeks away from my surgery and move to my full liquids tomorrow! Oh boy.....These are going to be some defining days for me but I am really looking forward to the challenges. I have been getting some more support on board and that has actually helped me more then anything. I can read all the books and look over all the research and exercise as much as I want but there is nothing like being able to talk to others about these experiences. I am anxious, excited, nervous and am focusing on my surgery date...8/30/10. See I even feel better after writing this! Thank you fellow Nevadan's.

Topic: RE: support groups
I had my WLS in 2005. Since relocating to Henderson a year ago, I've been struggling every day .... too much grazing due to boredom I guess. I would LOVE to find a walking or accountability partner in the Henderson area (215 & Green Valley Pkwy). I'm getting scared about losing control and gaining my weight back!

Sheila...WELCOME to Vegas!!!!!!!!!! There are a couple of groups in Vegas. Dr Teng has meetings on the last Monday of every month at 7:00pm
Dr Hanna has his support meetings every other month on a Saturday(immediately following his informational seminar). Matter of fact the next meeting is on Saturday August 21 at 11:30 am at Mountain View Hospital. Hope you decide to come. I will DEFINITELY be there(make it a point to arrange my work schedule around support meetings.) Honestly...I'll be 3 years post op in December and feel that I need more support at this time than when I was a "newbie" post op RNY.
