Today I am 3 days post op. I am doing pretty good. No major issues as of yet. My surgeon dr nick nicolson was great. He's the best in the field in the DFW area but my hospital stay at Forrest park medical hospital was horrible. The nursing staff was rude and was no comfort to me at all. They all acted as I was an inconvenience to them. It was a horrible experience for me. But now I am home and doing pretty good I think after my surgery which was on Tuesday morning.

Glad you are doing well. I am very happy with Dr. Nicholson!

Sorry your stay was not good. Were you at Forrest Park~Dallas or Forrest Park~Frisco?

Do you know if Dr. Nicolson uses a technique similar to the inverted gastic sleeve method that Dr. KIm from Dallas advertises and trademarked. Also, I'm from out of state. At three days post op would you feel good enough for a two hour plane ride home or do you think it takes more time to recover before someone should undertake such a trip. Did you also consider Dr. Kim. Dr NIcolson appears to be a bit lower cost than Dr. kim but cost is not by any means the only factor I'm considering. How many nights did you stay in the hospital. I appreciate your comments regarding your experience at that hospital. I'm also looking at dr corvales from hospital Angeles in tiajuana . He is the only doctor i would consider in Mexico but my family is urging me to use a doctor in texas if i have post op complications. DId you have any post op complications.

@ freddie8_8 I had chose Dr kim at first but when I went for my consultation I wasn't pleased at all I felt very rushed it was packed almost felt like an assembly line. Here's like well I think your a good candidate for surgery and I was like ok but do you see where I have an heart issue and he looked in my chart and was like oh....that scared me that they were in such a rush and didn't notice something that major. I made an appointment with Dr Nick and I knew right then thst he was for me. He took his time answers all questions I really felt comfortable with him. I'm almost done with all of my pre op test. His reviews are great. No he doesn't do the inverted sleeve but he does something similar. You should call his office they can explain it better. Good luck on your journey.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
