What is the Emmanuelle/Jerusalem clinic like?



Recommended Posts

Would you please tell me your surgery date? I'd like to know when yours was in comparison to mine. I'm wondering if staff changes have taken place since you were there.

Thanks!

I hate to hear of anyone having to go through that.

Thanks for your post. It's important for people to post about their experiences so we get a clear picture. I'm going for a sleeve with Dr. Almanza, hoepefully in july (trying to get finacing). I am feeling confident but I think now I will take a friend. I am from colorado and I imagine it will be ungodly hot.... does anyone know how well the AC works?

Thanks

My experience was totally opposite from Jrz. I have nothing to complain about. Interesting that they never wrote back and answered any questions. I traveled alone and was glad that I did. I think my husband would have gotten bored since I slept alot : ) The staff seemed to be cleaning all of the time and they fixed wonderful smelling meals for the guests. The first two days in the clinic, Dr. B took one husband out to eat in a nearby restaurant. The hubby said it was great!

I can't comment on the AC. My body temperature was all over the place so I was glad that I had brought a heating pad with me. It was relaxing even if I wasn't cold. There was also a ceiling fan in the room that we kept on low most of the time. I shared a room at the clinic and at the recovery house with bkind : ) We had the window open for awhile also and then closed it when it rained cause it was kinda chilly.

Good luck getting your surgery scheduled and paid for! I am so very happy that I did it :)

One of the recovery house nurses was new when I was there in mid-February. She didn't speak alot of English but there was usually someone there to translate. She went over to the other recovery house to ask that nurse when I had a question about something. I also printed out common medical terms in Spanish to take with me. Don't think I ever used it tho. I can count to ten in Spanish and that actually came in handy once! LOL I travel alot tho internationally and am used to using sign language to communicate : )

I would definitely go there again and may if I need any cosmetic surgery after losing weight. A lady had sleeve surgery and a mini face lift while I was there and she looked amazing!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
