Hi! I live in Plano and just received insurance requirements, so will be spending 90 day with dietitian before having sleeve with Dr. Nicholson. Anyone out there have experiences (good or bad) with him and/or his staff? Where was your sleeve done? Anyone have it done at the Microsurgery Institute by UTSW? That is now where he also doing procedures and is supposed to be quite beneficial financially for the patient. Sorry for the long post but have so many things I would like to know as I prepare for this life change. Thanks for listening.

My name is Dallas and I live in Royse City. I work in North Dallas. I just turned 60 in March. I'll be having the VSG on July 31, 2014 at Baylor Plano by Dr. Nick Nicholson. Starting weight 311. Current weight 274. Goal weight 175. Height 6'0. Lost most of the pre surgical weight using Optifast shakes.

I'm looking forward to talking with fellow Texans and sharing experiences both pre and post op.

The first surgeon that I talked to told me that my demographic (male, >60) had the highest failure rate for weight loss surgery so I'm out to prove him wrong. I changed surgeons to Dr. Nick who told me my age and sex mean nothing and I'll do great. I'm ready for this. Denied once by Cigna, fought back and won.

Surgery date: July 31st, Baylor Plano.

Hi, Dallas! Hope everything went well with your surgery. My name is linda and my husband and I live in Royse City too. I had VSG last October and couldn't be happier.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
