Dr Anthone only preforms DS & RnY, but his partner Dr Winterstein does sleeves & bands. They assist each other in surgery.

Topic: RE: VSG Surgery in Nebraska?

Dr Brad Winterstien at Nebraska Methodist Hospital in Omaha. I'm an admitting nursing in the ER there. I have only seen 1 patient of his be admitted with problems (nausea & dehydration). She wasn't drinking causing nausea (viscous cycle). I've know him since his residence. In the past I worked on an Oncology/Surgical floor and cared for his patients after surgery. He has been performing VSG for a little over 2 years. Over 700+ No leaks. I plan on having him preform my surgery in the fall. His office takes care of getting all the insurance stuff in order and helping you over come any obstacles.

Topic: Vertical sleeve gastrectomy

HI Friends;
Are any surgeons in Nebraska doing the vertical sleeve gastrectomy VSG weight loss surgery and has anyone there had good luck with it? I live in california now but was a 50 year nebraska resident and am interested in the VSG. There was always such fine medical care in Omaha. There are fine doctors here too but also some flakes. Anyone there have an experience with VSG? I sure wouldn't mind making a trip back to the heartland. diane
