I You Tubed Jerusalem Hospital, it's actually a clinic. Looks like it's located in a strip mall. Anyways...saw plenty of recommendations. I'm flying there with 2 of my friends, who are also doing the sleeve, 4/15. We're nervous and yet excited.

Fyi...it's VERY important to follow pre op. Diet and take Gas X Strips (not pills) with you!! Heard you're full of gas and bloated.

My SIL and her friend went February 2013 and I started thinking about it after they went. It helps to know someone personally whom has gone to the same facility to get opinions from. I feel like I am obsessed with searching information but I want to know all I can so nothing surprises me. I am so ready to take this step and I think I am going to go on my journey alone. My SIL said she would go with me but I feel guilty asking her to find someone to cover her daycare business just to be with me. I guess it is like taking my life back and being in charge of myself.

Watch some You Tube videos. Enter sleeve surgery Jerusalem Hospital. There you will see several people who went alone, hear their stories, and check out the hospital (clinic). After watching you can decide if you want to travel alone. Honestly, I don't know if I would be brave enough...but like you said...you are definitely taking your life back!!!!

I did a lot of research and spoke with people that has used Jerusalem Hospital in the last 18 months and they all had nothing but positive things to say. I have found good and bad reviews with almost every Dr. And hospital I researched.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
