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’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
