Aug 3rd sleeve w/ Dr Nick at FPMC in Dallas



Recommended Posts

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!

Hi, Hope your surgery went well! If your experience turns out to be anything like mine, you'll be very satisfied. I had no problems post surgery except for a couple bouts with left lower quadrant pain 2-3 wks post op. Let me know how you're doing when your up to it! Best of Luck, Sheryl

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

      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.
