I read on another thread that he schedules 13 surgeries a day. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that? That seems like an awful lot.

That sounds right. The day if my surgery I counted 11.

You will do great!!! I'm always a nervous wreck before any type of procedure/surgery. I had an uterine ablation last year and my ob/gyn gave me valium the morning before I went in and it was a godsend!! I'm going to start asking for that before every surgery. Lol

That's crazy!!! It's like a factory. Lol I wonder what time his first and last surgeries are of the day.

Do they put most people on the same floor post op? Make friends walking the halls. :)

I had mine at Forrest Park Dallas and there were only 2 others on my floor. Everyone was pretty sleepy and we all walked at different times. I would have talked to them but we all seemed grumpy. There was a nutrition class we all went to but some slept sitting up lol. Oh and I was number 1 of the day on my day. I was a revision And my surgery lasted 50 minutes from wheel back to notifying my hubby. My hubby said 50 min later Dr Nick came out to notify another family. Efficient and great success rate with leaks!

I have no doubt about that!!! There's a reason he's always voted one of the top doctors in Dallas!

13! Thats a lot in one day! I was scheduled for 9:30 but they called and moved me up to 8:15. I read somewhere that the best outcomes occur with surgeries early in the week and in the morning. That way the Dr and team are kind of fresh and not daydreaming about their weekend plans.

I can believe that. I'm not a fan of being in the hospital over a weekend too since they are on more of a skeleton crew so to speak. The worst nurses I've had have been on weekends and the best have been during the week.

Does anyone know what days of the week he schedules his surgeries on and which facilities on those days? Obviously, Tuesdays... Which hospital are you at 2x4nomore?

Mine was his only surgery that I know of that day. I was at Forest Park~Frisco. He does surgeries there on Wednesday. I want to think someone in the office said Forest Park~Dallas on Mondays and Presby on Tuesdays. Not sure about the other hospitals.

I was told that victory is more busy because they are the only hospital that allows the sleeve and hiatal to be done at the same time and filed in the insurance.

Oh really? I was really hoping to have it at Forest Park but I'm also really hoping to have a hiatal hernia to help cover cost.

Don't hold me to that. My dad is having surgery and that is what we were told.

      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.

      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!!
