There is a support group meeting at 6:00pm on the first Monday of each month at Clarkson Hospital (UNMC) on 42 and Dewey.

They also have an informational session on the third Monday. Also 6:00pm.

Both sessions are held on the ground floor of the Storz Pavilion.

Hi, I am a Nebraskan! I live in Lincoln. I am getting the band surgery in the next couple of months. Nice to see another Nebraskan on here.

Where will be having your band done at? I am hoping to have mine done by Dr McBride in Omaha.

Hi. I'm from Lincoln also. Who is your surgeon?

I live in Omaha, and had my band placed November 14th, (in Mexico). My UHC policy is excellent, but specifically excludes WLS. Being self-pay, I sought out the affordable opton for myself.

I was surprised to learn Omaha has a support group! All band patients? Or a mix?

Good to find other Nebraskans.

Greg,
Are you still happy with Mexico? Where do you go for fills? I am still looking at all the options as I will be self pay also.

GregNE,
Our support group is a mix. We meet on the first Monday of the month at 6:00 at UNMC on 42 and Dewey in the conference rooms under the
cafeteria. We also have a yahoogroup. If you go to yahoogroups.com, type UNMC. I believe that we are the only ones that will pop up.
