Today I am 3 days post op. I am doing pretty good. No major issues as of yet. My surgeon dr nick nicolson was great. He's the best in the field in the DFW area but my hospital stay at Forrest park medical hospital was horrible. The nursing staff was rude and was no comfort to me at all. They all acted as I was an inconvenience to them. It was a horrible experience for me. But now I am home and doing pretty good I think after my surgery which was on Tuesday morning.

Glad you are doing well. I am very happy with Dr. Nicholson!

Sorry your stay was not good. Were you at Forrest Park~Dallas or Forrest Park~Frisco?

Do you know if Dr. Nicolson uses a technique similar to the inverted gastic sleeve method that Dr. KIm from Dallas advertises and trademarked. Also, I'm from out of state. At three days post op would you feel good enough for a two hour plane ride home or do you think it takes more time to recover before someone should undertake such a trip. Did you also consider Dr. Kim. Dr NIcolson appears to be a bit lower cost than Dr. kim but cost is not by any means the only factor I'm considering. How many nights did you stay in the hospital. I appreciate your comments regarding your experience at that hospital. I'm also looking at dr corvales from hospital Angeles in tiajuana . He is the only doctor i would consider in Mexico but my family is urging me to use a doctor in texas if i have post op complications. DId you have any post op complications.

@ freddie8_8 I had chose Dr kim at first but when I went for my consultation I wasn't pleased at all I felt very rushed it was packed almost felt like an assembly line. Here's like well I think your a good candidate for surgery and I was like ok but do you see where I have an heart issue and he looked in my chart and was like oh....that scared me that they were in such a rush and didn't notice something that major. I made an appointment with Dr Nick and I knew right then thst he was for me. He took his time answers all questions I really felt comfortable with him. I'm almost done with all of my pre op test. His reviews are great. No he doesn't do the inverted sleeve but he does something similar. You should call his office they can explain it better. Good luck on your journey.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
