Not asking about normal strabismus surgery—but rather— I have glasses and would love to not.

I have an inward facing right eye and my primary eye is my left. Both eyes can see though, they just struggle to work together especially when looking into the distance. On occasion, my eyes work together (at very close distance) but otherwise I wear glasses and use my left eye and only get some peripheral help from my right (lazy) eye.

I did about a year of vision therapy that helped me use my eyes together (at a close distance), and gave me a lot of ideas for eye exercises.

I had looked into LASIK maybe 4 years ago and was denied because my lazy eye could not focus on a laser for any amount of time.

I am wondering if anyone has had vision-correction surgery with strabismus? What type and what was your experience?

I know technology advances all the time, so if there’s not an option for us yet… I sure hope there will be soon.

Stay strong strabismus friends!

I’ve been using OrderlyMeds for my compounded sets for the last year plus. I’ve lost about 80-90 lbs but gained about 10 back. Generally fatigued, frequently constipated, very thin hair and not feeling full anymore on the highest dose of sema, so I’m switching to try Tirz to see if I can continue weight loss. Still have about 50 lbs Id like to lose.

Noticing tirz is much more expensive but with Orderly Meds, I’ve been stuck in the “medical review” stage for like 14 days.

They’re usually super quick with just refills of sema, but now it feels like it’s taking much longer…

Does anyone use OrderlyMeds for their Tirz? Anyone remember how long it took you to get started?

I wanted to do these so others who were thinking about doing an air charter had this info! Also just for fun.

*I went from MSP to Laughlin 6/15-6/19.
*Temps were 80s for low and 110s for high
*$75 hold was put on my credit card and released. Otherwise no fees besides the $50 per person administrative fee when you book it.

FLIGHT/GROUND TRANSPORT:
-Snacks and 1 free alcohol beverage on the flight each way!
-The free shuttle to and from the airport was super nice and convenient.

CASINO:
-Didn’t have many older games or low-cost games. IE, my mom who is on a fixed income and likes to bet 25 cents or 50 cents per spin-had a hard time finding games. Most everything started at 75 cents or 88 cents

-Lots of newer games and not many older games. I love the older ones like Pompei, Buffalo, Sun & Moon, etc. I stopped by Tropicana and they seemed to have a better selection of those games

-The waitresses came around frequently! In a 5 hour gaming session, I probably had 5-6 drinks. This is much better than Vegas or Biloxi. Could be coincidence/timing but it was really nice regardless.

-The casino is really busy and it sometimes was difficult to find open machines. Other casinos on the strip seemed to have larger spaces (Aquarius looks nice!!!)

-Either had good ventilation or not many chain smokers, the smoking section wasn’t nearly as Smokey as some others I’ve been to. They also have a non-smoking area

-No bingo, and they had no drawings during my stay, BUT they did have a 7X multiplier event going on! I found it surprising they sent us on an air charter during this multiplier event

-last time I went to Harrahs (Biloxi) I lost terribly and barely got any bonuses. This time was a little better and won about 1/2 my money back and the person I went with had a lot of bonuses.

HOTEL:
-Stayed in South Tower. In order to get to it and to the pool you do have to walk out through the casino (which is a little funny in your swim suit). South Tower was fine, the room was decent, and I had hot water! (My Harrahs stay in Biloxi had no hot water in the shower, like Luke-warm only)

-Had a mini fridge and safe and a weird coffee maker (not Keurig). I asked the front desk for more coffee and they gave it. No microwave or it will cost you $25/day. No housekeeping unless you request it (not sure if there is a cost associated with that).

-North Tower is closer to the arcade, food spots.

-Hotel has 2 pools, an adult only one and a family pool. The adult only one has a bar you can purchase from. They have cabanas you can rent for the day which are ridiculously expensive. The adult pool was decent though, although it wasn’t the cleanest (lots of floaties) but still nice overall.

-Hotel also has a swimmable beach on the Colorado River. This was awesome as it was 110 degrees outside. BUT the Colorado River stays around 50-60 degrees regardless of season, so it was like a cold plunge. No floaties were allowed in the river, probably because of the jet ski and boat usage. This was super nice though to cool down.

AREA:
-I rented a car from Turo for around $240 that was delivered to and from the hotel parking lot which was super convenient.

-Laughlin River Tours does a boat ride, a $21 scenic boat ride which was cool (except for screaming children) and they do a dinner cruise as well for $81. That picks up at the Aquarius dock

-Lots of jet ski rental places

-I didn’t go, but I heard that Riverside has a Classic Car collection or museum that you can go to for free if you sign up for a players card

-They have a water taxi that takes you between casinos for $5 each way or a $20 all day pass. Super convenient (and unique) if you don’t have a car or plan on drinking!

-Oatman, AZ and driving along RT 66 was a great day trip. Oatman, AZ is a old mining town that is now a tourist attraction with free “cowboy gunfight shows”, souvineers, food/drink and tons of wild Burros that roam around town that you can feed with food you can buy at shops. It was cool.

-Bullhead City has a Walmart, and some thrift shops, and some regular shops if you’re into that-like Ross Dress for Less, etc.

-If it was cooler I would have found maybe an overnight trip to somewhere (maybe Sedona) or found some trails.

Maybe this will help someone! Even though it was hotter than hell, I’d for sure go back. I love these air charters!

Do other casino companies like Caesar’s do the free Air Charters? I’m thinking MGM, Golden Nugget, etc.

I am new to this but I am going on my 2nd free air charter in a couple weeks. I love traveling and I also enjoy gambling, so the complimentary flight and hotel is really enticing (and yeah yeah-it’s not “free” because we gamble a lot, but, I gamble regardless, so I appreciate the perks!)

So far I’ve seen offers for
-Gulfport/Biloxi MS
-Laughlin NV
-Lake Tahoe or Reno NV
-Atlantic City

And that’s pretty much it.
Are there any others that are commonly offered from Caesar’s?

And then my next question-do any other major Vegas casino chains do this too? If so, where do THEY send you?

Im going to stick with Caesar’s for a bit to see if I keep getting offers, but curious to know if I should play elsewhere for any other interesting air charter locations!
