I agree that would be nice to meet up , I went to dr.hungs orientation and I liked it also how small the group was and he was there and had someone that had the experience of going through one of the surgeries already.

It could have just been a bad day in general, Hung did a great job with my other surgeries. It would be nice for us all to meet.

It seems like most of us are in the Lincoln area? Is that right? I live in Nebraska City so not far from Lincoln.

Unmc - I didn't want to be a patient on a bad surgical day from some soon to be Doctor that maybe has been up studying the procedure all night !! Lol

I did look into Council Bluffs weight loss surgery center-

At that point, I didn't know if I had insurance coverage for weight loss- they wanted 20, 000 up front!! Uh, no thanks

I live in Lincoln too! I have Dr Taddeucci and really like him. Hes about my age (42) I feel totally at ease with him. Hes answered all my questions and took the time to fully explain and let me know the good and bad. He encourages me to keep up with my running since he is an avid runner himself. I would totally would recommend him!!

I think they have a great office - no worries there, but I used to supervise Dr Fitzke (at a lab like 29 years ago-) that is a surgeon in that practice, and his nurse practitioner is a baseball mom, our sons play on the same team-

I just would be nervous that I would run into them at one of my appointments, so I didn't even consider that office- but I think they have a great reputation!

Hey Nebraska pals! QUESTION--- So my surgery is next week and that sounds insane to say! Anyway I guess Dr. Hung is starting to do a few surgeries at Bryan West. So does anyone know about that hospital? I've never been there. If anyone can tell me anything about it let me know plz!! Thank you!!

I had all 3 of my kids there( my doctor hated that deliveries moved to East because he thought Moms got the best care there) staff has always been so caring-

I used to work there ( like 15 years ago) but it's my favorite hospital in Lincoln-

My surgery will be done there as well-

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
