I am so frustrated with Dr. Forse's office/Creighton and am ready to switch. I need a list of other surgeons in Omaha that I can see if they will take me. I've heard of some names but I don't know who they are affiliated with. Info please! Thanks.

Dr. Corrigan McBride at UNMC, they have a program there as well, don't know much about it. I think it's wise that you are looking into other options.

I've heard of this doc but I too don't know much about the doc or their program. I will check into this one. Thanks.

I had my surgery with Dr. Anthone at Methodist and am very pleased with that decision. I did not have a band, but I know that Dr. Anthone has a partner who does the band and is supposed to be good. I do love my DS, hoped you have looked at it as an option also.

Thanks. I already had the band done a year ago. I do have an appt with Dr. McBride at UNMC on 1/5 but got to thinking that since my PCP is with the Methodist system that perhaps I should look into them too. I did call and Dr. Winterstein is the guy that does the bands. Even though I already had the band done they did say I could come to the educational seminar Thursday to get the feel of the doc and office without having the cost of an appt billed to insurance. I figure what the heck...might as well go. If I like the guy I can get an appt supposedly next week (although I'll believe that when I see it knowing my luck) and if I don't then I already have the appt with UNMC already set up.

I had Dr. White at Immanuel, really like him. His staff is great. Whenever I have called, they call back right away.
Good luck with who ever you see.
