Anyone out there in Nebraska....I am in Lincoln...getting sleeved Dec 17th...

I'm in Omaha. I was sleeved May 23, 2012 in Mexico. How are you doing?

Hello! How are my fellow Nebraskans doing? I live in Kearney, and I was just sleeved 2 weeks ago on May 3rd.

Hi there,

I'm in Omaha and was sleeved on May 28th, 2013. Not too many locals on this site it seems..

I live in Lincoln- I am leaning towards surgery in North Platte- I have an appointment the end of July - it's like an all day class for out of town patients-

Meet with the medical team, billing and nutritionist-

My BCBS plan through work doesn't cover WLS, and I work in the medical field- I didn't want everyone to know that I work with-- deciding if I will even tell my work and gagging how much time I will need off-

How are you doing after surgery?? How is your recovery? Is there anything that you are surprised about?

Did you have surgery at UNMC?

I would love to follow you on your journey- sorry that I'm steps behind you- I have thought about this for years- lap band just didn't feel right-

Sleeve feels perfect for what I need to do for me.

I am 5'3-- 232

Goal for me is like 135 --when I get that number in sight- it might change-

Hopeful for a new me!!

Jansleeve1,

I had my surgery in North Platte. I had a great experience. You should request Dr. Siep. He's the best!

That's who I am requesting- he did some surgeries on my niece ,( not for weight loss) but he pretty much saved her life-

I live in Lincoln- have not heard very good things about the 3 docs here that do the surgery- my ins doesn't cover it-

I grew up in Paxton- so I will recoup a week at my moms -

Can you tell me how often your follow ups are, and do you think I could take 2 weeks off from work- or would I need more time- I don't have lifting at my job- but it is busy and I have to be up and down a lot and on my feet-

I'm debating if I tell my work HR dept and supervisor- I really don't want them to know- but if I would need more time off - I don't want to tell them later-

How do you feel like you are doing? When did you have surgery, how are you doing with eating? Do you still drink shakes at all??

I live in Omaha. Im 2 ms out. Had mine 8/9/13

Hey there, I'm in Omaha and sleeved April 8, 2013.

(Dr White at Immanuel Hospital)

I live in Omaha/Elkhorn and was sleeved by Dr. White at Immanuel on July 10th. Are any of you in a support group you like?

Anyone here recently from Omaha? Planning on sleeve with Dr White at Methodist in the next couple of months.
