Would you recommend it?

yes, I'm healing well, one month post op and training for a marathon, not happy with the scarring, but I'm black so I expected it to be a little worse but not this bad

Turkey worries me ever since Kashoggi got murdered. I'm sure your surgical hospital will be fine, but please don't go to anyone's embassies. Don't want to lose my new friend Kelly before I can hear more of her story!

Im travelling alone! on the monlth count down now!!

i wont be telling anyone,

I was approved in Latvia Riga, and these places:

TSG is 3750 GBP- they gave me a list of numbers of UK patients, to contact to ask about reivews, a few people replied with really good things to say. one said no gloves where worn and that you will need google translate/ to gesture, thats fine lol i didnt even expect any english to be honest. i think ill be going with TSG as they seem the most open, and i have a BMI of 29.5-30 and they had no issues. it was 35 but i am struggling to keep my weight down.

IMRET in turkey also, 4800 USD

Akdeniz Sifa Hospital 3500£

i also looked at Egypt for a doctor who does do visible incisions, he would not approve me based on my BMI - he was around £3k all in maybe 3.2k after flights

Good luck!!

Hiya - please could you clarify what TSG stands for? I've googled TSG Hospital in turkey and cannot find it?

      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.
