I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with Dr. Nick Nicholson at Baylor Medical in Plano Texas. He is performing my surgery in a couple of weeks and really don't know a whole lot about him. Just was wondering, I am extremely nervous...........I have never had surgery before or put to sleep. Pray for me please.......................

Scared in Texas!!:smile2:

I am not familiar with your doc but you can look him up on the Texas Board of Medical Examiners to see if he has had any disciplinary action taken against him or malpractice claims. The link is Texas Medical Board

Good luck on your upcoming surgery.

Dr Nicholson put my band in Thursday July 10th. He was recommended to me by my Breast Cancer surgeon. He was going to put my in at Baylor Plano but the girl that does his scheduling scheduled me for Friday and he was going to be gone to a seminar so mine had to be moved to Baylor Garland Surgery Center. I had a great experience! All his nurses were very friendly and they had my husband and I laughing all the way up till time for me to go into surgery. My surgery nurse held my hand in the OR until I went to sleep. Everyone was wonderful!!! I think you'll be glad Dr Nicholson is doing your surgery.

Good Luck with your surgery and let me know how it goes.

Thank you so much for the comforting reply I was getting nervous if no one has had experience with him before. I will keep you posted. Did he put you on a diet before surgery? What was the requirements before the surgery. A friend told me she was put on Optifast shakes by her surgeon.......(not Dr. Nick) so I was wondering if he does the same thing..........

Dr Nicholson does put everyone on a 2 week pre op diet. But it was not bad at all. It consists of 5 Slimfast shakes or Slimfast bars a day, 2 cup of non starchy vegetables and 5 oz of lean meat. I did it and I never was hungry. I had a Slimfast shake for Breakfast, a bar for a snack, shake for lunch, bar for snack, my veggies and meat for dinner and another bar for last snack. Much easier than most of the preop diets I've seen.
