If I didn't get surgery I was heading for a young death,I'm on 20 days and have lost 40 lbs,my top number for bp was 170.On 3 types of blood pressure meds.Off all meds ,my high number is 140 ,The facillitys were cleaner than usa and safe .Drs and nurses at hospital seemed more qualified than usa.now the negatives,Pain treatment is barbaric,get post op meds from home dr,I was fortunate and did my 4 days at hospital,the others in my group had unacceptable problems at hotel,I would pay extra to stay at hospital.Keep in mind in USA they send you home in 1-2 days.Experiencing the pain instead of being numb helped understand the seriousness of surgery. I also used the surgery to quit smoking and drinking.No matter how much you think you understand the life changing effects of this surgery,You have no idea,if you don't follow the rules you will die young.It takes all day of eating correctly to get you minimum amount of vitamins & protein,If you over eat by one small bite,you will pay with un godly pain.if you eat the Wrong thing,heartburn can last 3 days you'll be on liquid only 3 days even water hurts to drink,My surgery will pay for it's self in 2.5 months,I spent 5-600 hundred per week on ciggs,alcohol, and food. I can eat and drink for 2 eeeks fo 50 bucks,I will save 25k per year.wow
