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!

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
