Hello Miss Pam, Yes, Dr. Nwanguma did my surgery in February, 2015! He and his staff are absolutely wonderful!!! Dr. Nwanguma is a very skilled surgeon and he will not perform surgery until every item on your checklist has been done.

Teresa Stidham is his nurse practitioner and she is very knowledgeable and helpful. There is a support group which meets monthly at the Medical Center/WKU Campus. The next meeting is on Thursday, June 18th at 5:00 p.m.

I don't know when I'll be having surgery yet. I go to my first appointment with Dr. Nwanguma on Monday. I'm very excited and look forward to this journey. Glad to hear Kysunshine had a good experience with Dr. Nwanguma :)

They told me to expect for my first appointment to last at least 2 hours. I was told I would meet with the dietician and the surgeon. Since I'll be a self pay patient (I sure wish my insurance covered the surgery), I hope I don't have to wait too long for surgery. I guess I'll know a lot more on Monday.

I am thinking of going to him. Can you tell me how much the self pay was and how long you had to wait? Thanks

Dr. Nwanguma is great! I had the sleeve done in June and haven't had any complications. I had to pay $15,600 for the surgery, but ended up having to have a hernia repair which my insurance paid for. I also had to take out a temporary insurance policy through the dr office that would cover any complications after surgery that cost $1,300. I highly recommend Dr. Nwanguma and his staff. I have had a great experience so far.

Thank you MissPam for the information. It is so hard to pick the best surgeon and I live in Glasgow so Bowling Green is super convenient for me. I am going to the Decemer seminar so I am really excited. Should have the funds to pay for surgery by February.

I had a few people recommend him to me. When you had your surgery done how long did you have to stay at the hospital there and which surgery did you have?

      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.
