I completely agree! I knew after the seminar he would be my choice.

He put in my band on 8/6 and repaired a hiatal hernia. I am thrilled with my choice. My recover has been going extremely well, and he cleared me for all soft foods today.

You don't happen to have a website or phone # for him, do you? I am in the very early stages of finding a doctor.

Dr. Nick is the best in the Dallas area! I drive an hour just to get to his office for every one of my visits because I believe he is the best! He put in my band on 4/1/10 and I couldn't happier! I am 118 pounds down and I only have about 40 more to go! His website is nicholsonclinic.com. It has all the info that you need to attend his seminar and get started on your path to bariatric surgery. He is extremely helpful in choosing which surgery you want and making it happen. Also, the other people who work in his office are great. The nurse, Bea, always remembers me and is super sweet and helpful as is Brittany his PA who does all of his fills.

I noticed on Dr. Nicholson's bio that it says "does not provide outpatient surgery". Does that mean that he makes you spend the night at the hospital after having lap band? Anybody know???

Omg!! I love him!! lol!!! and no not because he is helping me get rid of a problem I been struggling with for a long time like someone suggested all newbiews do. I really like him ( and believe me is hard for me to like a doctor I think most of them are snobs) because I think he genuinely cares about his patients. He does not make me feel unconfortable, or stupid,or anything like that. I'm 2 months post-op and have seen him twice for my two fiils and once I saw his assistant wich she is really nice too. On my surgery date I had it on the park-forest hospital the way they treated me could not have been better too. I'm such a big baby and I was happy with everything. His staff I think likes him alot too my nurse even said Dr. Nick is such a sweetheart. Most importantly he has been named top Dallas Doctor by D Magazine five years in a row, and he is the director of the bariatric surgey department of Plano Baylor Hospital. Do your ouw research he is a really good Doctor. I highly recommend him =) let me know what you decide. I also suggest you go to one of his seminars in Baylor Plano.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
