Sap Soon,

I used Dr. Nirmal Jayaseelan at Medical City. I highly recommend him.

He answered all of my questions prior to surgery. Calmed my nerves right before surgery and now post-op I have my follow up visits with his nurse, but if he sees me in the hall or waiting to be seen by his nurse, he always asks how I'm doing. Overall a great experience. :D

Hi ~ I am using Dr Nick Nicholson at Baylor hospital, I haven't had my surgery yet (its Monday) but he and his office have been there EVERY step of the way and are the nicest people I have encountered in the medical field.

Good luck with your decision.

I just went for my first consult with Dr. Nicholson last week. I'm also in the medical field (medical billing) and was very impressed with his office. He was very kind and answered all my questions. His staff and I have emailed each other in the past couple of days regarding surgery info/questions I had.

Glad you liked him. Can't wait to see how your surgery goes.

Oh and I saw him at Baylor in Plano.

I am also having my sleeve on May 24th with Dr. Nicholson at the advice of a friend who had it done last year. I also liked Dr. Harry Meyers but I am a self pay and Nicholson had financing available!!! Good luck to you! Michelle...you too! I will be a couple of weeks after you!

I posted on the other link, but thought I would here as well. Everyone listed the doctors I recommended except for Dr. David Kim and my surgeon, Dr. James Davidson. You can't go wrong, you've got a list of top notch names, the best of the best! Again, good luck!

Thanks everyone. I had my first seminar with Dr. Nicholson earlier today (May 17), I have to say it went real well. I am going to be setting a follow up meeting with him. He mentioned that he has done about 7500 surgeries (lap band/gastric bypass/sleeve). I asked him specifically how many sleeves and he mentioned approximately 2000 (which is a good number I think). He has also performed on some high risk patients (with previous heart related diseases/patient waiting on heart transplant). Also, he said that they had 1 major complication (out of 2000) in a sleeve patient.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
