I am 6 weeks po and I'm feeling very lost and depressed. Not many people know about my surgery so I feel very alone in my journey. I'm currently in a 3 week stall and I am realizing now after surgery that I really have a problem with food. Its been a challenge.

I do not regret my surgery, but I am afraid of failing and I feel like I am. I don't know how to get motivated to eat right and exercise. I don't know what or how to eat. I don't know how to get over my food addiction and "head hunger".

Has anyone here ever felt like this after surgery? Or maybe someone has some advice?

That's amazing! You look great [emoji4]

I follow a lady on Facebook called Sibel Orka who had hers done in Turkey.

That's great what was her experience?

Hi! I'm looking at ERDEM as well. I found another clinic called Irmet and it's 3900 with them. Finding reviews and information/research on these clinics is not the easiest thing. I'm nervous about going to Turkey too. When are you planning on going?

I'm thinking of going during the last week of October. So our dates are really close. I'm still deciding on clinics. Which one are you going to?

Hi,

I'm considering going to Turkey for surgery and I'm wondering if anyone personally had or know someone who had bariatric surgery there?

Where are you from in Europe? I would look at Greece or Bulgaria (private clinics of course). It'll be pricier than Mexico but you'll save the cost of the overseas flight. That's where I would have gotten mine done next summer but there would be too much family drama for me to do it over there.

I'm sorry to hear about your family drama. I hope it gets better and thar you can have your surgery soon. I will definitely look into Bulgaria & Greece

I don't have any input other than to say I can imagine that's a very tough decision. I hope you're able to find a doctor closer to home.


- No idea what I'm doing but I'm here!

Hi, thank you. I really appreciate that

Hi,

I am approved and scheduled to have surgery in Mexico in a couple of months. I live in Europe and I feel that its too far. I am young and honestly scared of travelling so far on my own for surgery. I have not found a doctor in Europe that is willing to operate on someone with a BMI under 35. Mine is 32-33. Does anyone know of any doctors or clinics in Europe that performs sleeves on someone with my bmi range? Thank you.
