I am certainly not suggesting you change your plans, but Dr NIck has personally been at three of my meetings at the Dr office, and he was very friendly and funny, and put me at ease each time. He said he would consult with me just before I go out and check with me when its over. I am set for Monday... so we will see. But I am very secure and happy in my choice

I was going to use Dr Nick but his staff was horrible and could not get my paperwork started so I went to Dr Kim. I'm doing my liquid diet now, finished day 2, 5 more to go till my 7/2 surgery. I LOVE the staff there and they are so patient, attentive & very helpful. Cannot say enough good things about them! Good luck!

I am so glad I saw your post. I am using Dr. Kim too. I was thinking of moving over to Dr. Nicholson but he didn't have any early appointments and I don't want to wait. I have my surgery June 6th and I am very nervous!

I'm now 3 days out and feel ehh, mosty sore and lots of pressure from gas. Having a hard time getting my Protein & liquids in but I think it's from the gas pains. So far I have not felt hungry or anything which is good. Waiting till my post op appointment to get these staples out, they itch!

Once your staples are out you will feel soo much better! I went in for a revision with Dr Kim in June and because of the erosion and scar tissue he found he wasn't able to do it in one surgery. I was so disappointed when I woke up even though I do appreciate his caution. I'm back on the books for Part 2 on August 29th!

Mine didn't hurt at all! The skin at the incision sites is still probably kinda numb, at least it was for me. Didn't feel a thing! I also came home with a drain..so gross...and was more worried about them taking that out. It didn't hurt either, just felt weird. Lol!

I had a drain too and to be honest it caused a cramping sensation when he took it out. Then it was fine.

I didn't have a drain. What determines having a drain?

If the doctor thinks an area might bleed they sometimes place a drain. Honestly, I woke up with the drain and it never hurt or bothered me until he took it out.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
