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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
