texbel 0 Posted July 25, 2010 Hello all, This is my very first post on here, although I have been a frequent visitor and have enjoyed reading everyone's posts on here the last few weeks. It seems like its been forever since I have been considering WLS, I even got a surgery date for RNY about 5 years ago but chickened out at the last minute ... Now after many unsuccessful diets and years later, I am convinced the sleeve is the right choice for me, and I just can't believe I am days away from beginning this journey! I have learned so much from reading all of your posts and advice, I almost feel overwhelmed by all the information, but grateful that I am not going in "blind"! I was wondering if anyone has had a sleeve done by Dr Nick recently? I have been to his seminar and met him already of course, and I am very confident he is a wonderful surgeon, I guess I was just wanting to confirm that I made the right choice if that makes sense? And also I am having my surgery done at Forest Park and I have never been there before, it is brand new, so if anyone has been there, what was your experience like? Thanks again for all your help and feedback! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DallasSVGer 0 Posted October 28, 2010 I have my sleeve on Nov 9th with Dr. Nick at FPMC--I can not wait--everyone has been so great and kind through this process. So far no question has been left unanswered. Between Dr. Nick and his staff and the intake staff at FPMC I have found great comfort in this process. I go for my blood work on friday oct 29 and in the middle of the pre op diet--The future looks bright!!! Hope your sleeve went well and give us an update--love to hear how you are doing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
