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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
