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-

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
