I must say I went in to this without much apprehension. I had read enough on the net to know about the surgery and Jerusalem Hospital. I am one week post-op and feel great. I had absolutely no problems following my surgery. I have lost over 10#'s so far and have never felt hungry. I occasionally would LOVE to have one of my favorite solid foods but the desire passes quickly because I am not hungry and I know it would make me sick to eat it. The doctors and staff were great. Seemed to have a lot of employees but that is not my concern. The recovery house was great. Yes, both were small close quarters but we weren't on top of each other. One thing I would like to suggest is having some sort of locker system for purses and valuables at both the hospital and recovery house. I left all my jewelry and most of my credit cards at home. But when traveling you can not be completely without. I do not know of any problems but I personally would have slept much better know my things were locked up. If any one would like to contact me feel free.
