surgery done in Syria



Recommended Posts

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:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
