Dr. Nick performed my sleeve surgery on 1/24. He is incredibly nice and patient, answering all of my questions thoroughly. I've also never met better office staff in my life. Calls and e-mails are returned right away. I even had a patient care coordinator call me back on a Saturday afternoon on her cell phone, and this was just with questions that I had before I had even decided to go forward with my surgery.

In a nutshell, I am very happy with my choice. My surgery went well, and even though I live out of state their follow-up has been great.

I hope that this helps! If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask :-)

A couple of friends used him and were very happy. I considered changing to him after talking with friends, but didn't. My PCP recommended Dr. Cribbins and I am very happy with my choice (and highly recommend), but Dr. Nicholson has excellent feedback from people I know.

Dr. Nick completed my surgery on 1-23-12. He and his entire team are awesome. Zero complications. I wrote him a glowing review on OH.

I was sleeved by Dr Nick on Oct 17, 2011. All went well and the care I have received has been top notch. Good luck to you!

I was sleeved by Dr Nick on 1/24/2012. Completely satisfied. Answered all of my questions and spent as much time with me as I needed and wasn't in a rush.

Amanda, which hospital did you use? Dr. Cribbins is my dr. and I'm trying to decide between Presbyterian Plano and Baylor in Frisco.

      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.
