Dr. A performed a Panniculectomy and a DS on me during 2009; to date I am down about 166 pounds. I have told everyone that I can that as great a surgeon Dr. A is; he is a better human being. I tell this story as much as I can. After my Panniculectomy on 12/1/08 I was recovering in a nursing home in Omaha. I was having a lot of discomfort from my woundvac; I called his office and they suggested I come into the clinic on the next Monday. I had no sooner hung up the phone; maybe 5 minutes and who walked through my doorway but Dr. A. I was blown away; hehad ridden is bike up on his day off to visit me. He had no idea that I had just placed the call to his office; he just wanted to check on me and see how I was doing. He looked at my belly and told me I could have a "woundvac holiday" which meant I could take it off for a week. It really helped me mentally. I ended up not going back to it and like they say " the rest is history". He ended up staying for about 45 minutes; we talked about Husker football and his time at USC.

I guess my point is; there are surely a lot of very good capable surgeons; probably several in Omaha. But for knowledge; surgical skill and compassionate caring, I don't think you can go wron with Dr.A and his staff. Good luck with your revision.

Dr Anthone  in my opinion is the best of the best I recommend him every chance i get, he is very professional and very caring his bed side manner is great he made me feel like a person not a paycheck .

His office staff is also awesome.

Hi Pam, I don't know about Omaha, but western Nebraska is finally thawing out. We had a great weekend. Mona

Nope.  The only thing I had to do was NOT gain any weight.  I was (and still am) bad at sticking to any diet for very long so I didn't really try to lose anything before my surgery.  I will say that I believe that anything someone can do to lose some more before surgery would be beneficial....so go for it! 

Yah...what Felicia said.  He has no post op diet.   I especially agree with Felicia on the Sugar Free popsicles.  They were a life saver for me.  I was nauseated after every meal and would eat a SF popsicle and it really seemed to help.

Good luck!
