Recommended Posts

I have an appointment Wednesday to get my drain out. Doing ok, still hurts on that left side a lot but that is evidently normal. Can't wait to get this drain out then I will feel more "normal" so to speak. no problem eating or drinking so far. Getting tired of the full liquids and don't like the Isopure zero carb drinks really. went back to instant Breakfast with extra Protein Powder.< /p>

Hi Judy: My name is Judy also. Dr. Nick did my surgery in mid-april. I have lost 35 pounds. Dr. Nick is a great surgeon. I had zero problems and recovery was quick. Are you aware that Dr. Nick also teaching other doctors to do the surgery at the big Baylor hospital in downtown Dallas. I had my surgery at the Baylor Plano facility. He has 2-3 locations that they do the surgery. I highly recommend him. He is very professional and straight forward. He will answer every question that you have and his office staff is wonderful as well. Call the office and speak with them. You will be glad that you used Dr. Nick.:thumbup:

I'm going with Dr. Nicholson after my 6 month diet with insurance. I fel very confident in his ablities. My mother (nurse who had OPEN RNY 4 years ago) works the bariatric wing in Wichita Falls Texas said that one of the doc's has just started doing sleeves. My mom inquired (because she knows my plans) and the doctor said he was trained by "the smartest man I've ever met and a hot shot surgeon in Dallas - Dr.Nick" so there you go people. I really feel very confident that he's the best man for the job.

Yep he does a great job. I did well, loved the Baylor Plano facility. Everyone was so nice, his PA Brittnay Burns is very nice and easy to reach. You will deal with her most of the time after surgery. I don't know if he has more than one PA, I see Brittnay in Plano.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
