I had surgery on 01/24, late in the day so that night was very bad, a lot of pain. It has been getting better each day. I do not feel hunger at all, I am only able to drink 1 oz of liquid at a time otherwise my sternum feels like it is getting kicked. My doctor has already introduced me to soft foods-yogurt-and it was the same thing, one oz otherwise there is pain. Starting to get around but after a bit, I do get tired so I take a break. I had my surgery in Kuala Lumpur and had nothing but the best experience, from the surgeon, nursing staff, anesthesiologist, to the dietitian, etc... Going to take it one day at a time. I have not weighed myself, will wait for the follow up appt. tomorrow.

I am currently waiting for surgery-in less than two hours. I am having surgery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with a surgeon that came highly recommended by Australians and Brits. We currently live in China so we were traveling here on winter holiday SO it did make sense to come here. Cost of my surgery was just $6700 or 5850 Euros-which included everything, but not travel expenses, but again we were already coming here so to me I don't include that in my expenses.

I am currently waiting for surgery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia-just under 2 hours to go. The surgeon that I am using-Dr. Gee- came highly recommended by Australians and Brits because they travel here frequently. He has done WLS on over 1500 patients. It was cost effective to me as I reside in China full time-an ESL teacher-so we were coming to Malaysia for winter holiday. My whole experience thus far has been very positive-it was under 3 weeks from my initial inquiry to today, the cost was just under $8000 but this didn't include my travel expenses but again, we were coming here anyway so I would have been out that expense either way.

Sitting in my hospital room getting ready for surgery. I am having my surgery in Malaysia as I have been residing in China for the past three years (no insurance) and this was a cost effective way to do it. The surgeon that is doing my surgery comes highly recommended by Australians and the Brits who travel here frequently for health procedures. My surgery was initially scheduled for 6pm has been pushed back to 7pm. Makes me a little nervous but I have a good support system here with me. Looking forward to getting past the next few days!
