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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
