Pregnant 8 months post op

I did it with dr. Roger Batrouni at Emirates Hospital after I researched all my options and found out that its less invasive, the pouch does not expand like the sleeve, high success rates and its reversible which seemed excellent. When I went to see the doctor, the first thing before weighing me he asked me about was my health, if I suffered from anything.. I was border line everything in addition to severe knee and feet pain. He then weighed me and took the fat levels and Water retention info and all that jazz then he said I had 2 options but the best would be the MGB. I have already decided I wanted it before he even said it so it was a win win situation. I did not suffer with the wounds after surgery but gng from eating everything to a pure liquid diet made me miserable and I cried a lot at first but as the pureed food started it started to get better. I still cant eat much but now I eat more frequently. If you feel you need to be checked Again I would totally recommend that you go see my dr if u can.

I finally had it done with Dr. Khalid Merza (Dr. Sultan Altemyat's partner). He is great honestly.. Well both of them are great. But when it comes to revision or reversal I think I'll chose a government hospital. I think government hospitals are better able to handle severe complications like bleeding. The setting is much better in all aspects .. Not that my doctor wasn't able to handle my bleeding, but the hospital setting was just not what I expected.

Not to mention the huge hospital bill I was left with.. It was literally more than the cost of the surgery
