Dr.Chad Carlton at nick Nicholson clinic?



Recommended Posts

Dr. Nicholson did my sleeve in March of 2013. Didn't know there was another dr. on board. Ask for Dr. Nicholson, he has done thousands and is one of the best.

Good luck! You will love your sleeve!

Chubtastic - I know you have stated that you've been to Kim Bariatric and saw Dr. Kim who was out of your network, they also have Dr Holden on staff who could be in your network or check out their MBA program if your insurance doesn't cover. Dr Kim did my sleeve in 2011 and I could not be happier!!

Dr. Nicholson is my surgeon and is considered to be one of the best bariatric surgeons in the country. I don't know if you have been to Dr Nicholson's seminar or not. He has a free seminar every two weeks and it is very well attended. At my seminar he talked about selecting a surgeon and stated that your surgeon should have performed at least 1000 bariatric surgeries. I am not familiar with Dr Charlton. Did you pick him or did someone at the clinic suggest him to you? I would go with Dr Nicholson. He has the experience and his name is on the clinic. You can't go wrong with him.

I had my sleeve done with Nicholson. He is the very best and the surgery went great. As for Carlton...DONT DO IT! I had a follow-up with him and thought he was great at the time. He spent a lot of time with me and talked over everything. However, the second follow-up I had stopped losing. His first statement when he saw me "what did you do?!?!". Really?! How is that supportive? The rest of the meeting went downhill from there. I was dismissed as if everything was my fault and he didn't want to waste anymore of his time on me. Said to go see a Nutritionist. That was it. No, "hey, lets see if everything is ok with your sleeve." or "how about this....". Nothing. I have not gone back since. I was so upset afterwards. Stick with Nicholson.

I've read some great things about both Drs. Nicholson and Carlton. I'll be in Dallas for an appointment with Dr. Carlton next month.

      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.
