I am going to TJ at The Jerusalem Hospital on Dec 5 and having gastric sleeve on Dec 6. Is anyone else sleeving on this day?? Also should I have any concerns. I am excited and ready to begin this new journey of my life but a little anxious... has anyone had the sleeve in MX with Almanza....

I went in with my eyes wide open. It is a clinic in a strip mall. I had mine done September 6 th, and my recovery has gone well. I am glad I did it and it has really helped me a lot.

I had mine done there and just got back with my son having his done there. I really do recommend it. It is a strip mall, as said above, so understand that going in. The operating room is just like any other operating room though and the care from the nurses is much better.

When I first started researching the sleeve and Medical Tourism ... I kept seeing Dr Almanzas name and all his happy patients. I'm sure you're in good hands! I just couldn't do the strip mall thing so I researched further and am going with a doc that operates at a real hospital. But honestly... Jerusalem Hospital does not have a bad rep. In fact there was only one Operating facility that I found to have bad reports and that was Nova Hospital. The comments were that it really was not suited for Medical Tourism. (I'm sure some ppl have had good experiences there, but many had not). You'll be fine. He's super experienced!!!!

      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! 😞
