There is a good chance Medical Tourism may be in my future for nips and tucks. I plan to reach out to my WLS for advisement but I plan to research on my own as well. I'm a bit of a planner so I'm researching now.

I came across a very alarming article from this past July about a facility that performs both WLS and plastic surgery.

I read that article a couple of weeks ago..

I can say one thing. As major as the sleeve surgery is, body lifts are all that more complicated and painful. I guess for me the take away would be no strip mall "hospitals".

But really if I were to have plastics I would not travel for them.

Some have been sleeves there?

Many people have VSG surgery at Jerusalem Hospital.

I get texts quite regularly offering me surgery at Jerusalem Hospital. Talk about aggressive advertising.

I did too. From "local" numbers. I finally told them I've been sleeved. They said to keep them in mind for plastics.

Yeah. Right.

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

      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! 😞
