Hi! I live in Plano and just received insurance requirements, so will be spending 90 day with dietitian before having sleeve with Dr. Nicholson. Anyone out there have experiences (good or bad) with him and/or his staff? Where was your sleeve done? Anyone have it done at the Microsurgery Institute by UTSW? That is now where he also doing procedures and is supposed to be quite beneficial financially for the patient. Sorry for the long post but have so many things I would like to know as I prepare for this life change. Thanks for listening.

My name is Dallas and I live in Royse City. I work in North Dallas. I just turned 60 in March. I'll be having the VSG on July 31, 2014 at Baylor Plano by Dr. Nick Nicholson. Starting weight 311. Current weight 274. Goal weight 175. Height 6'0. Lost most of the pre surgical weight using Optifast shakes.

I'm looking forward to talking with fellow Texans and sharing experiences both pre and post op.

The first surgeon that I talked to told me that my demographic (male, >60) had the highest failure rate for weight loss surgery so I'm out to prove him wrong. I changed surgeons to Dr. Nick who told me my age and sex mean nothing and I'll do great. I'm ready for this. Denied once by Cigna, fought back and won.

Surgery date: July 31st, Baylor Plano.

Hi, Dallas! Hope everything went well with your surgery. My name is linda and my husband and I live in Royse City too. I had VSG last October and couldn't be happier.

      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.
