I'm from Abilene :)

Live in Denton now. I'm so surprised your 2 week was good. I saw Natalia and she didn't look at my incisions. Literally said three words and she was done. Maybe they know you're coming from far.

I saw her in the Plano office. I was surprised she didn't even look at the incisions. I even asked her if she was going to look at them and she just said no. I was really a waste of gas and my time, as was the 6 week post op. That is my only negative experience with the whole Dr. Nicholson experience.

That's kind of how I felt. I do like going to weigh on their scale but that's about it. I almost with they would have us see the nutritionist instead of the PA because we might get some good pointers at least.

So what do you do at the appointments? Just weigh and ask any questions you might have?

For me, it was weigh in, gave me a couple of remarks on the next phase of the diet and said have a nice day. Could have phoned it in. I asked her to check my blood pressure and she said she didn't have a cuff in this office. Really? Huh huh... :unsure: It was less than 2 minutes from start to finish.

Now the PA that saw me in the hospital was fantastic. I really think it's just Natalia ( I think that's her name) that is lazy. Every one else in his organization has been top notch from the front office back.

It must be Natalia. I left her a voicemail at 3 pm one day and she didn't call me back. Finally at 11 the next morning I called back and asked for a different PA. While I was talking to that PA, Natalia beeped in. Lol no thanks!

She just doesn't have much personality. I think that's the issue. I'm not one to hate on people but it is her job to be helpful and that she is not. Just my two cents.

That's too bad about Natalia but from what I've heard she's the exception. I can take one bad apple. :)

Eliie, what part of Dallas are you in?

Do any of y'all go to any of the support groups?

I read on another thread that he schedules 13 surgeries a day. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that? That seems like an awful lot.

      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.
