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:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
