Hello every1, Im David here in Dallas. new to the site been browsing around. I have my consult with Nick Nicholson on the 12th im self pay. I went to the seminar a couple months ago. Im excited to get this done kinda nervous and been debating on this or band. im thinking the sleeve will be the best option. I have been the big kid/guy all my life and im ready for a change.

As you will read on this site, there are a lot of reversion from the band to the sleeve. I researched for over a year. Today is one month and I am down 28 pounds. I am off medication already and life is much easier weighing almost 30 pounds less:) Good luck to you!

I have my consultation with Dr. Nicholson tomorrow. Insurance approval, sleep study and psych eval complete. How was your consult?

My consult is this fri. A friend of mine had his sleeve done and they highly recomended him. I went to the seminar they provide a few months ago and they were really nice and very informative. There staff was really nice when i called and talked to them to set the consult up. Im hoping i dont have to do any test with me being self pay. Deff interested to hear how the consult goes?

I am sorry. I've lost track of the date, obviously. I will post here after the visit.

Had my consult today at the office off forrest. All the people in the office were really nice. Went ahead and set the date for Nov 7th. How did yours go.

Have been really busy since my consultation and haven't had an opportunity to post since then. The meeting went great but was shorter than I expected. That isn't a complaint, only an observation. I went to the Plano office. I could have set my surgery date much sooner than I did but travel obligations dictated that I wait until near the end of November. My surgery date is Tuesday, November 27. I took a list of questions but got caught up in the conversation and neglected to ask a couple of important ones. I am going to call the office today and ask the staff for some answers. I found everyone to be very pleasant and informative. They are all very knowledgeable about the procedures Dr. Nickelson performs. How was your experience at Forest Park? Have you made a decision yet about which procedure you feel would be best for you?
