Going to Jerusalem Hospital



Recommended Posts

Did you stay at the Hotel Ticuan??

I did. It was really nice. They have a nurses station in the lobby and you can call them with any of your needs. Our first night we (my wife and I) ran into the President of the hospital. He was very outgoing and friendly. I told me I could have a caesar salad because I did so well with the pre op diet. He pointed us to a restaurant where the ceaser salad was invented. It's a short walk and felt safe the whole time. You will have a great experience.

My starting weight was 301 labs. I didn't bring any foods. You probably will not want any thing like baby food for a few days. I had no hunger for about two weeks. They provide all the liquids you will need while you're there.

I am glad that you had a good experience.

What did you think of Dr.Alamza and the staff there? I understand that it is a small surgery center/clinic in a strip mall but very clean.

Well his English is not very good. You only really meet him right before surgery. He has a canned speech in English but if you ask him any thing communication breaks down. I believe he has had he surgery himself and looks great. The real relationship is with the staff. They take real good care of us. The clinic is in a strip mall next to Office Depot. That didn't bother me but one lady had a hard time with that. Her over all additive was very negative. By the end though she turned around and was doing much better. It was very clean and they always seem to be cleaning

      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! 😞

      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.
