Glad I did not have to have it

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
