Nicholson Clinic/ Dr Roshek, Plano, Tx



Recommended Posts

Hello..again lol.

I'm in the pre surgery process wirh Dr. Roshek of the Nicholson Clinic and have met all requirements that the surgeons office has asked of me and my insurance requirements as well. That was a week ago. I wanted to know if anyone has gotten surgery done with the Nicholson Clinic and if and how did they notify you that your documentation had been submitted to your insurance and how long did it take for them to submit the documentation after meeting all requirements.

This is not restricted to just the nicholson patients. Everyone is welcomed to reply. I'm just trying to get a better understanding on how all of this works and what time frame I should expect

TIA

Hello! I'm from Texas, also! I didn't go through that clinic, but I think it took my insurance about ten days to say "YES!"

I would call and ask the insurance coordinator if/when it was submitted to your insurance.

Once you know it was submitted you can call your insurance directly to check the status.

Hi there! I'm having surgery at Plano Med Center on Thursday. I'm not sure specifically how the Nicholson Clinic does things, but I know that my surgeon's office submitted my paperwork on Fri morning (Dec 9th) and by that same evening, my insurance sent me an approval letter email. From others I have spoken to, that is very rare. I would call to find out when it was submitted then call your insurance to make sure things are processing as they should. Good luck with everything!

      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.
