Hi all , I am Suzy from Cairo Egypt. Here things are bit different in process than what I read here. My doctor didn't ask me to do any pre diet before the surgery at all actually I followed what I read here and online. Insurance considers this cosmetic surgery so it's not covered at all. We don't have all the nice protein shakes so we have to make them up
I have scheduled the surgery three times in past month once with visiting doc from uk who really is the one I thank for bringing me to where I am now and explained everything to me yet had family and financial emergency so couldn't make while he was here. So met with a local doctor and we set a date but got sick so we cancelled and can't tell you I had mixed feelings not sure if I was frustrated it's being cancelled or happy as it maybe a sign that it won't work for me. I guess the two time cancellation is what really gave me freaks ... Long story short I called my doc on New Year's Eve and he suggested to do next day and I just did it 1-1-2014 . Milestone 1 celebration yeaay finally done . Spent 4 days in hospital the first day was so painful to the extent I was starting to have regrets but today 5 days post I can hardly remember what I felt.
Lost 5kg don't know how many pounds that is to date from surgery another celebration and able get down some fluids well I hope I continue to be well am starting feel good spiritually .
Good luck to all ????
