Topic: RE: support groups in Omaha area

I believe that the Med Center (UNMC) group is on the first Monday of the month. You could call 402-559-4000 and ask for bariatric surgery. They could tell you.

You could also call Dr. Sudan's office at Creighton and ask when theirs is.

I am in Omaha but I don't attend a group. I just read a lot here on OH - I go to the LapBand Board as that is my surgery type. The Nebraska board doesn't have a ton of activity but if you check out the other forums, you will get a lot of support in addition to the group you find.

I believe that the in home group got canceled from lack of participation.

Thank you I will make some calls today. I am so excited to get started on my journey. I have waited a long time. Dr. Forney seems wonderful and from everyone one I talled to so is Dr. Hollaway. Not sure what you mean by the OFF ( over 50 forum) So new but I will try and figure it out. Thanks again, hope to talk to you again

Hmmm, I was going to say most doctors have their own support groups. But I see your doc is 400 miles away. There was a gal last year on this forum who was starting a support group in her home,, but I haven't heard anything about her in a long time.Don't know if she was able to make a go of it or not.You could call some local surgeons offices( I would call Omaha local) and tell them you need a support group. I would be surprised if they didn't tell you you are welcome, but I am not sure. I would highly highly recommend the OFF ( over 50 forum) her in Obesity help. I have been in there since 3 months before my surgery in 7/04 and I learned so much and had so much support I felt totally prepared for my surgery and always had somewhere to ask the questions and we have a ball in there.

Jimmy, congratulations! Isn't this the most wonderful life. What's amazing is how much participation instead of observation of life.... you and your wife are such good support for each other. It's always good to run into the two of you in town.
