I am scheduled to be sleeved by him on May 30th. It took a bit of searching but I feel confident in using him.

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!!!!

Please research Jerusalem hospital, it was the reason I changed dr's. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I am going to Dr Cabrera - can you share more about your experience?

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.

Sorry, I was asking janarae.... :-)
