I You Tubed Jerusalem Hospital, it's actually a clinic. Looks like it's located in a strip mall. Anyways...saw plenty of recommendations. I'm flying there with 2 of my friends, who are also doing the sleeve, 4/15. We're nervous and yet excited.

Fyi...it's VERY important to follow pre op. Diet and take Gas X Strips (not pills) with you!! Heard you're full of gas and bloated.

My SIL and her friend went February 2013 and I started thinking about it after they went. It helps to know someone personally whom has gone to the same facility to get opinions from. I feel like I am obsessed with searching information but I want to know all I can so nothing surprises me. I am so ready to take this step and I think I am going to go on my journey alone. My SIL said she would go with me but I feel guilty asking her to find someone to cover her daycare business just to be with me. I guess it is like taking my life back and being in charge of myself.

Watch some You Tube videos. Enter sleeve surgery Jerusalem Hospital. There you will see several people who went alone, hear their stories, and check out the hospital (clinic). After watching you can decide if you want to travel alone. Honestly, I don't know if I would be brave enough...but like you said...you are definitely taking your life back!!!!

I did a lot of research and spoke with people that has used Jerusalem Hospital in the last 18 months and they all had nothing but positive things to say. I have found good and bad reviews with almost every Dr. And hospital I researched.

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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
