  1. And we just responded...no judgement here...
  2. Whether it's food or a smoking addiction it is hard to stop...unfortunately smoking could affect your sleeve but just like you are making a choice to follow your post-op diet you can also make the choice to ease up on the smoking or quit all together...you can do it you have made it this for, no need in possibly irritating your wonderful sleeve for a few cigs...I too am an ex-smoker (mj variety).....
  3. Well its about time, so happy for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
  4. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/TX/3506321/Dr-Nick-Nicholson-Baylor-Plano/ Bottom of thread...I decided to disregard as neither responded to private messages...
  5. Thanks for your response I PM'd both of them and received no response. I have not change my mind about the surgery or the surgeon I chose he operates at a Center of Excellence hospital is the medical director of the bariatric program at the hospital. No complaints from the state medical board and nothing on heathgrades. I have made my peace about him and the surgey, I am just nervous.
  6. I just read two horrible reviews about my surgeon (Dr. Nick Nicholson) who will be doing my surgery on 1-16-12. I have heard only good things about him and I understand that no doctor will please all of his patients but this post called him a killer (didn't elaborate)! Yikes! The other one stated he was just flat out horrible. Guess I shouldn't concentrate on these few bad reviews but it is still unnerving.
  7. January 16th and I'm already freaking out!
  8. :cornut: I finally have a date 1-16-12 (Dr. Nick Nicholsoin), feeling super awesone over here (the wine helps). I am blessed that from my initial decision to have surgery 7-12-11 to being approved on 11- 14-11 was a fairly easy process (I had already done tons of research). I could have had my surgery as early as 12-19-11 but my birthday is on 12-30 and I didn't want to be on a pre-op diet or recovering near my birthday. I will finally hopefully (crosses fingers) fulfill my New Year's resoulution to lose weight this year (with a lil help :wink1: ).
  9. So sorry you are having such a rough recovery, I pray that things get better for you. Definitely food for thought, as I have not had surgery yet.
  10. Congrats on your successful recovery. I will get my surgery date in 2-days at my 1:1 consultation.
  11. Sending prayers your way...wishing you a speedy recovery....
  12. I was recently approved for surgery and have my one-on-one consultation with Dr. Nicholson next week to choose a surgery date. Although I haven't had surgery yet I did quite a bit of research and attended other seminars. Dr. Nick is highly recommended and operates out of an Center of Excellence hospital, don't think you could go wrong there. Dr. Kim, Dr. Stewart & Dr. Davidson are also good and have been used by many of my co-workers and are in he DFW metroplex. Good luck!
