newat52 1,613 Posted July 14, 2013 I had labs done and my potassium was low so I had to take it. Yuck I tell you... Glad I did not have to have it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newat52 1,613 Posted July 14, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

HeatherL 40 Posted July 14, 2013 So what do you do at the appointments? Just weigh and ask any questions you might have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newat52 1,613 Posted July 14, 2013 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... 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. 1 auntyc reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morganne 241 Posted July 14, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherL 40 Posted July 14, 2013 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherL 40 Posted July 15, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
