Who else has used or using Dr. Nick Nicholson in Plano?



Recommended Posts

I've noticed a few have Dr. Nicholson on their sigs....just wondering how everyone liked him, if they have had the surgery done. Also if you have been pleased with his office before the surgery.

I for one, love his office. They are quick to answer any questions I have by either phone or email. I asked what size bougie he used and I got the answer within 24 hrs.

Hello, I am using Dr. Nicholson also. I am still going through my insurance requirements right now. If everything goes as planned I will like to have my surgery late August or early September. Can you tell me what size bougie he uses and what is the significance of it? Thanks.

I think he uses a size 36. The bougie is a tube used to guide him to make the size of your new stomach. If you watch a youtube vid of a surgery, you can see the bougie moving in the stomach as they do the surgery.

Good luck with your surgery date.

Thanks, I will check out the videos on you tube. Good Luck with your surgery!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
