Has anyone had surgery with Dr Nick? I am scheduled on May 21st (Tuesday) at Victory Medical in Plano...just wondering if anyone can give me some feedback about their experience. Pain after surgery? Does he require a cath during surgery? Does he come in to see us during our stay in the hospital? What have you experienced with his office (friendliness, how are they about returning calls, etc...) Any information would be helpful! I am getting so nervous, thinking of backing out!!!! Help!!

I go to Dr. Nicholson's Plano office on 8/1 too for my 6 weeks check-up. I agree with everyone that the 2 week check-up was a waste of my time and gas money. I am writing down my questions as I think of them where I will be prepared to get every one of them answered before I leave. I also have that horrible pain in my left side but it was gone away. I never felt my stitch pop but I am assuming it did. I did fall of the porch about 2 weeks ago and fell hard on my right shoulder and hip and although I feel fine it really worries me that I did something to hurt my stitches or my stomach. My whole body was so sore from the fall for about a week and half and I had a huge bruise and knot in my shoulder. Probably needless' date=' stupid worry but......[/quote']

I got 8/1 too!!

Hey! Nice to meet ya' date=' maybe we passed each other in the halls. Idk about you, but I am SO ready to eat food Monday! Really really tired of liquids.[/quote']

Amen to that. I went shipping for stuff this Tuesday. I've never looked forward to applesauce or some lunch meat in my life. I was ok the first two weeks but this last one has been more of a struggle.

I am definitely with you on that!

Hey all, since we all used Dr. Nick I assume we are local. I have a can of Unjury Chicken broth and a can of Strawberry protein powder. Each I have used maybe two or 3 times and just didn't like them. I still use the chocolate and love it. The chicken broth is not bad but I really don't like barely luke warm and it can't be heated past 140 degrees.

If anyone would like them, let me know we can meet some place if you like. I hate wasting and I know I will never use them.

Free to good home.

Do you still have this? I would happily take it off your hands.

I do and would be happy for you to have it! Shoot me a PM and we can arrange it.

Good luck! I hope they get you in. My dad was told they were already getting booked for August 20th and so it would have to be after.

NewMommy, did your dad get his date?

Yay! Congrats! Yep, I remember thinking when I got my date. Holy crap! S**t just got real!

You will rock it! Was so nice to meet you btw!

Hello all - I am from TN, not TX but am looking into having Dr. Nick do my surgery. It seems like he does a great job from what I've read. Would any self payers be willing to share with me what their costs were? I talked to his office and they say the $12,200 covers pretty much everything - from his fee to 2 nights in the hospital to pre-op tests. Was this your experience?

Also, if anyone who traveled from out of state to have surgery from Dr. Nick, I would love to hear about your experiences as well.

Thanks in advance!
