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-

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
