Gastric Sleeve Surgery Is Scheduled For Jan 17, 2012



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I am so excited to have my surgery date. I will have Dr. Nicholson out of Plano, TX do my surgery. I have a lot to learn about what's in store for me. I hope to get help from everyone. I am 46 and weigh 233. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I have not set a goal weight yet. Wasn't sure it I set my own or if the doctor helps me with that. Looking forward to giving updates often on my progress. Later for now!!

Hi Chris, and welcome to VST, we are so happy to have you join us here! Congratulations on making the choice to have this surgery, I know it is the best thing to ever happen to me. As far as your goal weight, I think many of our doctors have set a weight for us, and at the same time, we have our own personal goals we would like to achieve as well. Most of the time, the two are fairly close to each other.

I look forward to getting to know you as your journey proceeds.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
