Howdy fellow Huskers!

I was thrilled to find threads by state, but then the Nebraska forum has been silent for quite a while it looks like!

I'm still collecting info, but am looking forward to a consult visit with Hung/Taddeucci soon.

So tell me, how has your band-adventure been in Nebraska?

What part of Nebraska are you from? I'm from western Nebraska and was banded November 29, 2011. I have had a great experience and have been pretty successful with my weight loss. I have been fortunate to not have had any complications and would do this all over again in a heartbeat! My 17 year old daughter has just started her 6 month supervised diet so she can be banded hopefully in January. I'm glad you started this thread and I hope more people post

Glad to see a few postings from Nebraska! I live in Lincoln and Dr. Taddeucci placed a lapband on July 27, 2011. I've lost 23 pounds so far (40 if you count the presurgery weight loss!). I feel so much better and am definitely more active. I get my first fill on August 29th.

Keep in touch!

Wanda

Congrats Wanda! That's just awesome! And today is your first fill.....anxious to hear how it goes!

I am in Lincoln, too. Much farther behind in the process than you or muelle. I sent my paperwork into Tadducci/Hung last week so now I wait to hear from them. My insurance has no coverage for lap band. And every day I am up and down about financing. It's my only option. And my health should be worth it. My very supportive hubby keeps making comments about 'once you have your surgery...' He's cool with it, why aren't I?!?!?

Love the ticker on people's posts. Will have to look into one once the ball is rolling.

Looking forward to Nebraska autumn! Hope this band doesn't interfere with my family's annual apple picking festivities! I guess I'll end up eating a lot fewer apples.

Heya everyone! Feel free to become a member on our little Nebraska Banders group here!

(So far, i'm the only member.)

Im up for some support!

I live in the eastern part of Nebraska and am just starting my journey. I have my information session this Thursday at UNMC in Omaha. I have been sent paperwork to fill out to bring with me. I have to do a 6 month supervised weight loss, a psyc eval and a meeting with a nutritionist. I am sure there will be more to do as the time goes by.

Thats awesome itll go by quickly! It did for me anyway! Good luck!

Hi everyone, western Nebraska here. I had my lapband done several years ago and had wonderful success then I had complications that ended with 3 surgeries and replacement of my port. But I AM heading back to the weight I was before. I had another fill last Monday and am really feeling like I am finally in the sweet spot again.
