Do Not Use Anyone Associated With Jerusalum Hospital
I had surgery there on 10/17/2011 and when I entered this very little office in a run down strip center, I almost ran. But I had to loose weight for my heart and so I went ahead with the DS surgery. I have had a hospital borne infection and I have been on antibiotics for over 40 days now. I had to cancel my cruise that I had paid for a year in advance with no refund, because my Doctor said if my fever got any higher I would have to go in intravenious antibiotics in the hospital. This place is so small only one restroom up and one restroom down. The 4 rooms they have are so small that the beds are only 1 foot apart. This is not a hospital it is a very small office building with not even a bath. Everyone has to share the restroom . Not sure what I was thinking when I did this but you are risking your life if you choose this place. Now the doctors seem to be ok, but the facility they have to use is very bad. There prices are great, but there is a reason. For a little more you can go to a real hospital and not have to take such a risk. Thanks jlweb55

The date is nearing closer!
If you are diabetic ask your endo or reg doc about victoza,I have lost 9 lbs in two weeks, and have wonderful control of my blood sugar. I have no appetite at all. I wish I had found this before I had gastric sleeve, which did not work or the lapband which did not work. But it was not approved until jan 2010. But I have it now and I think it is a miracle drug for weight loss. thanks judy

Victoza,The miracle weight loss drug
I just started on Victoza 2 weeks ago, It is a new once daily injectable, very easy no pain. I have no appetite and have lost 9 lbs in 13 day. It is supposed to be for type 1 an 2 diabetics , but the drug is so succesful for weight loss that doctors are putting their overweight patients that are not diabetic on it in smaller doses and it is working great for weight loss. I have had two weight loss surgerys, lapband and the sleeve. I did not have any success with either one. This is the first time in my life that I think I have found the answer. Do not wait. Get your doc to give you a sample. Oh by the way, it does make you tired with a little stomach upset at first , the best time to take it is right before bed. There are blogs on this all over the internet. Just google Victoza discussion. Good Luck Judy:thumbup:

Gastric Sleeve
I used Dr Huacuz, He did not get my pouch small enough, He will not do it again without full payment. I would not use him again for this reason. thanks jlweb55

I really need this done.. but have no medical insurance and below average credit..
I waited till I was 55 to have it done. Wish I had done it long ago, even though I am not having the weight loss I hoped for , I think it will come off eventually. thanks

Wonderful site for Gastric Sleeve
I am eating everything, I had a 10 oz marie calenders pot pie for lunch and I was satisfied but not stuffed. Today is 6 weeks post op. I am not happy. I was told by another sleever to eat hard meat. If I do this then I can eat only 5-6 oz. But if I had wanted to eat only protien I could have lost weight with out the surgery. I am not happy. I probly should have had the mini byass. But I have lost 25 and I only have 60 left to loose, I think this is not enough for a bypass. Do not know what I am going to do. Thanks Judy

unhappy
I am just wizing up about this , I had the sleeve done on 8/14/08 and as soon as I started eating two weeks after surgery I gained 6 lbs in 3 weeks. I have been told I have to go low carb. I have been on low carb most of my life and I hoped I would have a little leeway with the sleeve but not the case. I am like you I could have done atkins and lost it, I guess it is a little easier with the sleeve to do low carb. But it does not make me happy that I spent the money to have to stay low carb. thanks jlweb
