Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

Doctors Corrigan McBride and Vishal Kothari with the University of Nebraska Medical Center both accept Medicare and Medicaid Patients.  

Their phone number is 402-559-9500

The are with the University Nebraska Medical Center and The Nebraska Medical Center.  Their office is located on 5th floor of the Durham Outpatient Center.

The address for them in their offices and for their staff is:

983280 Nebraska Medical Center

Omaha, NE 68198.

*They are also a center of excellence, and a Blue Distinction Center.

They are amazing Doctors and have an incredible staff!  Their information session is very informative and they have plenty of time to answer any of the questions you may have.

I had surgery with Dr. Kothari (Sleeve Gastrectomy 2010) and I am down 150 at a nice weight of 130lbs.  And I kept it off.

I'm here for both of you if you need me. I am from Nebraska and had VSG on August 13, 2012 at St. E's in Lincoln. The BEST thing I ever did for myself.

I'd love to tell you to not be nervous but its just natural. Keep positive thoughts and follow the directions of your surgeon. Follow the eating/drinking schedule set up by the nutritionist and the surgeon and the days will go by fast.

Good luck to you both!

I am scheduled to have my DS on Jan 30th so I will be a week behind you.  I too am interested in support on this journey.

I'm really nervous about having surgery but excited about losing weight and being able to do things that I have not been able to do for a very long time.   I too am a mother to 3 and a grandma to 3.   I have 3 boys....2 married and in their 30's and one 18 and a senior in high school.   I am very lucky to have a very supportive family plus 7 siblings who are very supportive too.

2013:  20 Funny New Year's Resolutions

When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year.  Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!

1.  I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!

2.  I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!

3.  I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.

4.  I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day.  Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.

5.  I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!
