Not Omaha, but within an hour! My surgery will be at UNMC.

No date yet, but finishing up my 3 months worth of dietitian appointments and follow-up with psych next week. With any luck I’ll get the surgery by November

I am. Im seeing Dr. White on Tuesday.

Just didn’t psyche evaluation yesterday. Was nervous but it was a pleasant experience. Now just have to get through seeing the nutritionist then 4 months of a medically supervised diet. Hopefully surgery by February. Fingers crossed. So glad I won’t need the liquid pre op diet just no more than 1400 cals a day for 2 weeks before surgery. Can’t wait. Good luck to you all.

How did you like Dr. Tanner? I’m still looking for a surgeon in case I’m not too happy with the one I was assigned.

Hi! I loved Dr. Tanner and the UNMC Bariatric Center. Everybody there is well informed, thorough, and pleasant to work with. They roll the red carpet out for you. I was nervous and worrying about the surgery, because I’m 53 and have grandkids that I care for, so that weighed heavy on me. Dr. Tanner reassured me, beside normal surgery risks, and stated that she has not lost a patient before, which eased my worry. I hope you find a great provider! Best wishes for you on your journey and for a speedy recovery. Thank you for reaching out.

Excellent! I passed my psych eval and will visit the surgeon soon. Now pushing out my deadline… with any luck I’ll get my surgery by March of next year.

[GayleD 1]

That’s great! The process is definitely a long one, but in the end I found that it was worth it and made the difference. Changing to a new lifestyle was a little easier after going through that long process leading up to surgery and then afterward. I hope the next couple months go quickly and smoothly for you. Nice talking with you again. Reach out anytime.

I’m going to my last pre-op appointment (I believe) not this Tuesday but next to meet the surgeon and decided which surgery I’m getting. I also see UNMC is postponing surgeries as of 12/7/21 and am getting increasingly worried that it’ll affect me…

[CKmommy 27]

@Lussa I was in your shoes last year with surgeries being postponed. I ended up having to schedule a couple months out and by then I was able to get it. Honestly I am a believer that things happen in the time they are supposed to happen and usually go better than I could imagine! Praying this for your surgery!
