About Nebraska Weight & Wellness

What is Nebraska Weight & Wellness?

Nebraska Weight & Wellness is a medical weight management practice at 5601 Union Hill Rd Suite 1 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Its prescriber is Sherri Thomas, D.O. She became a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine in 2016 and has practiced Obesity Medicine exclusively since then. She earned her medical degree at A.T. Still University in 2007 and completed an internal medicine residency at Banner University Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

The practice offers lifestyle and behavioral modifications, medication, meal replacements, support before and after bariatric surgery, endoscopic bariatric procedures, a DEXA body composition scan, ReeVue breath analysis for calorie needs, and metabolic and hormone testing. Its endoscopic procedures include endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, the ORBERA gastric balloon, and an endoscopic revision called OverStitch. It does not name the medications it prescribes. In its own words: "From optimizing medications to lifestyle and behavior modifications, your physician will help you create an evidence-based treatment plan." Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 7 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It says it works with a variety of carriers and asks patients to verify coverage with their insurance carrier, so some care may be billed to insurance. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee, and it does not state a cancellation policy.

Ask for the cost of a first visit and of each follow-up. Ask whether any program is cash pay, and get the cost of medication and lab work in writing before you commit.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription and whether Sherri Thomas will be the one reviewing your care. Ask whether a monthly fee covers medication, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and what the DEXA scan or ReeVue test costs if you want them. Ask how to cancel and whether leaving early carries a fee.

If an endoscopic procedure interests you, ask who performs it. One of the clinic's posts names Dr. J. Reggie Thomas as the physician who performs these procedures, so ask whether he is also the one who will see you and prescribe. The clinic does not list office hours, and it does not say whether visits can be done remotely, so ask about both.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an in-person, physician-led weight management practice in Lincoln and you are ready to pay for visits and testing that insurance may not cover. If you need a published price list or remote visits, get those answers before you book.
