Dr.Chad Carlton at nick Nicholson clinic?



Recommended Posts

Dr. Nicholson did my sleeve in March of 2013. Didn't know there was another dr. on board. Ask for Dr. Nicholson, he has done thousands and is one of the best.

Good luck! You will love your sleeve!

Chubtastic - I know you have stated that you've been to Kim Bariatric and saw Dr. Kim who was out of your network, they also have Dr Holden on staff who could be in your network or check out their MBA program if your insurance doesn't cover. Dr Kim did my sleeve in 2011 and I could not be happier!!

Dr. Nicholson is my surgeon and is considered to be one of the best bariatric surgeons in the country. I don't know if you have been to Dr Nicholson's seminar or not. He has a free seminar every two weeks and it is very well attended. At my seminar he talked about selecting a surgeon and stated that your surgeon should have performed at least 1000 bariatric surgeries. I am not familiar with Dr Charlton. Did you pick him or did someone at the clinic suggest him to you? I would go with Dr Nicholson. He has the experience and his name is on the clinic. You can't go wrong with him.

I had my sleeve done with Nicholson. He is the very best and the surgery went great. As for Carlton...DONT DO IT! I had a follow-up with him and thought he was great at the time. He spent a lot of time with me and talked over everything. However, the second follow-up I had stopped losing. His first statement when he saw me "what did you do?!?!". Really?! How is that supportive? The rest of the meeting went downhill from there. I was dismissed as if everything was my fault and he didn't want to waste anymore of his time on me. Said to go see a Nutritionist. That was it. No, "hey, lets see if everything is ok with your sleeve." or "how about this....". Nothing. I have not gone back since. I was so upset afterwards. Stick with Nicholson.

I've read some great things about both Drs. Nicholson and Carlton. I'll be in Dallas for an appointment with Dr. Carlton next month.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
