Hi to all my fellow Texans! I hope no one is melting in this horrible heat. Found lots of post for all different areas of Texas but nothing for the North Texas people. Any out there?

Little Elm here!

I'm actually looking at moving to Little Elm/The Colony area in January...

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.
