Aug 3rd sleeve w/ Dr Nick at FPMC in Dallas



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

This is my very first post on here, although I have been a frequent visitor and have enjoyed reading everyone's posts on here the last few weeks. It seems like its been forever since I have been considering WLS, I even got a surgery date for RNY about 5 years ago but chickened out at the last minute :)... Now after many unsuccessful diets and years later, I am convinced the sleeve is the right choice for me, and I just can't believe I am days away from beginning this journey! I have learned so much from reading all of your posts and advice, I almost feel overwhelmed by all the information, but grateful that I am not going in "blind"! I was wondering if anyone has had a sleeve done by Dr Nick recently? I have been to his seminar and met him already of course, and I am very confident he is a wonderful surgeon, I guess I was just wanting to confirm that I made the right choice if that makes sense? And also I am having my surgery done at Forest Park and I have never been there before, it is brand new, so if anyone has been there, what was your experience like? Thanks again for all your help and feedback!

Hi, Hope your surgery went well! If your experience turns out to be anything like mine, you'll be very satisfied. I had no problems post surgery except for a couple bouts with left lower quadrant pain 2-3 wks post op. Let me know how you're doing when your up to it! Best of Luck, Sheryl

I have my sleeve on Nov 9th with Dr. Nick at FPMC--I can not wait--everyone has been so great and kind through this process. So far no question has been left unanswered. Between Dr. Nick and his staff and the intake staff at FPMC I have found great comfort in this process. I go for my blood work on friday oct 29 and in the middle of the pre op diet--The future looks bright!!!

Hope your sleeve went well and give us an update--love to hear how you are doing

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
