Hello all!

I'm also a Nicholson patient. I'm just waiting on my final approval from insurance. I'm on pins and needles. I just HAVE to get this done before the end of the year!

Hope everyone is well!

ChronicJam So excited for you! I can't wait to find out when your surgery will be. I had my sleeve on October 14th and I love it! Dr. Nicholson is wonderful and his staff is the best!!! Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,

I'm also getting my surgery done by Dr. Nicholson as well and have a surgery date of December 9th. I am so excited especially after having the band and getting it removed due to slippage. I wish everyone much success in their journey!

Hey there! All you Nicholson patients, did any of y'all have a horrible tearing pain on your lower left abdomen a couple of weeks post-op? It's below the big incision where he removed the stomach. His nurse Sandy said it was normal for a couple of days, but this is going on 10 days. I can't bend over, I have to still sleep on my back, sitting or standing hurts like crazy. I'm ready for this pain to go away!

[woo woo 872]

Yes for sure, had it for about 2.5 to 3 weeks, intermittently. Was told by Sandy that it is part of the healing process.

Hello everyone, I had first chosen dr. Kim but it just didn't feel right, kinda felt like an assembly line. I had a consultation with Dr. Nick and I knew right away that he was the surgeon for me it just seems like he really cares. I go this Friday for cardiac clearance. I hope to have my surgery asap. I have a few questions, does he do that drain tube and did you guys go home the same day of surgery? Im excited and scared.

I didn't have a drain tube and I stayed overnight. He's very good. I saw 3 other surgeons before I met with Dr. Nicholson, and like you, I knew right away. Good luck!
