lebyvr 0 Posted December 22, 2009 I did a lot of research and I finally decided to go to syria to have the surgery there. I took that decision because of many reasons: 1 : a friend of mine had been sleeved there and she recommended the dr. 2: I am originally from Lebanon so a family member can accompany me as lebanon is few hours drive away. 3: I speak the language "arabic" 4: 4000$ is the price, including a private room with two beds ,tv fridge......excluding ticket which costed me 1200 $ cad from vancouver canada. anyway , I was sleeved on Dec 5th,2009 ,I weighed then 355lbs today is Dec 22nd,2009 and I was 223lbs which means 32 lbs lost in approx 2 weeks and few days. not bad eh. I threw up once when I decided to add cheese to my Soup , what Was I thinking lol I am having delicious soups(mashroum,chicken broth, asparagus, cream of broccli), yougart, Protein Shakes and juices and taking Vitamin pills (centrum) and still taking some pills the dr prescriped. I am so glad I did it and would like to thank many members here who helped me with information to make my decision and get the courage to do it. good luck all :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
