Hello All, Have My Consult On The 12Th



Recommended Posts

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!

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?

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?

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
