Hello going, welcome to the VST family!!

There is a section here specific by geographical areas. Take a look around and make yourself at home here. You will learn so much and likely grow to make new friends!!

I will also be having my surgery in March, hope everything goes well.

HI there!

I actually just met with Dr. Nicholson and his 'team' this last Thursday (1/20). I was very impressed with him. He's young and cocky and incredibly knowledgeable. He answered every question my husband and I threw at him. He definitely doesn't sugar coat anything, and he lets you know up front that the sleeve is a tool, and you have to really want this change in your life. He gave me a three ring binder of information to go over and I left with a surgery date of March 15, 2011! I am thrilled beyond words, and if the timing were better, I'd have surgery tomorrow.

I have researched Dr. Nicholson extensively and thought enough of him (and myself!) to drive 175 miles away from home to see him.

Best of luck to you! I am really happy for you~

Take care,

Karen

March 1st here - hoping to lose another 3 or 4 kgs before then (have lost 9kgs already) and then onwards and downwards after the op.
