Dieting at my size fails 95% of the time. I investigated surgeries for about 4 years, in which i gained about 30 kilos. I saw many surgeons in different countries. I was even scheduled for surgery twice, and chickened out weeks before. An opportunity presented itself with the arrival of a german surgeon in cairo, egypt. I did all tests, and all analysis and i was all clear. I was mostly scared to lie on the operation table and never wake-up again. Since i am quite knowledgable in biomedical engineering, i bombarded my surgery team with all the questions that popped into my mind, to which they provided convincing and highly professional answers. I concentrated on risk management, anesthesia, blod clot prevention, existence and adequacy of backup services,....
As an added bonus, my surgeon is a pro in the use of robotics in the surgery, which reduces surgery time, and increases the vision of the surgeon which in turn boosts the quality of the operation.
I had all the planets aligned this time, i decided in 48 hours, and i took a successful shot at it.
Very please with the decision, and with he reults so far.
