Topic: RE: BAND FILL provider
Hi Sandy, There are several doctors in Nebraska. Where does your friend live? In eastern Nebraska there is Drs. Hung and Taddeucci in Lincoln. There is Dr. McBride, Dr. White and others in Omaha. There is a new surgeon in Grand Island. His name is Dr. Luby. Dr. Holloway is in western Nebraska. He will fill mexican bands. I don't know if the other surgeons fill mexican bands or not. If you google their names I know you could get other information. Mona

Topic: RE: Anyone heard from Jill?
She is hanging in there. Has had several more surgeries related to that awful band of hers. It had to be removed and not easily from what she said. The docs say it is unlikely she will be able to have any other form of WLS. I told her that I saw this post on your board and that you were asking about her.

Topic: YUCK.. Slim Fast..
I am currently doing the pre-surgical diet and my physician wants me to do the Slim-Fast diet for 2 weeks to aid in shrinking the liver.
But I have a problem.  I can't get the Slim-Fast down. 

Well..I can get it down..but it comes right back up. 
I have tried all kinds of flavors and it is all the same. 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do?

Thanks,
JAN

Topic: RE: How Does NE medicare/ medicade deem 'medical necessary'
I contacted Dr. Atchison, he basically told me won't go.  No let me see you in the office and lets see what we can do or anything. 

I think that I will not have my insurance soon.  DH got a raise, and we are to 1 kid in the house, barley in the guidelines for me to be on now and with his raise I know it will go bye bye.  :(  Guess no tummy tuck or hernia repair for me.  

Thanks for the suggestion.

Having the documentation is crucial so you are one step ahead already. If I am remembering right you are close to Kearney. Call Dr. Atchison, his staff is good with approvals and should be able to get you some additional information.

Topic: RE: Anyone have a VSG with Dr. White in Omaha?
I went to Methodist with Dr. Anthone who does the full DS but will do the VSG. He also has Dr. Winterstein in his office who is performing the VSG and other procedures. Dr. Anthone is VERY experienced and a wonderful person. Good luch with your journey, have a DS was the best decision I have ever made.
