Hi Monisha, There is a recent nurse from Grand Island that is trying to get another support group in Grand Island started. She also works at Saint Francis. As this group comes together, I would expect you would be hearing something on this forum. I will also keep you posted as there are several patients from the area that have had weight loss surgery with us at Saint Elizabeth. Hope you are doing well! Shelly H

Hi MJ  I would suggest if going to Kearney, contact Family Practice Associates.  The docs there are ALL fantastic!  They have two female docs, Dr. Lindstrom and I can't remember the other one.  They have several other docs as well.  Mine is Dr. Messbarger and he is sooooooooo awesome!  He is behind me 200% and said that whatever he has to do he'll do it to get me through to have surgery!  He has already run all the tests that would PROBABLY have to be run, because of other issues I was having, he said, let's just do all these as I know you will have to have them any ways.  I have been doctoring there for over 21 years and wouldn't go to anyone else.  They are right across the street from the Kearney High School.  Laurie
