"I tried very hard to avoid gastric bypass surgery. The turning point was when I came back from abroad three years ago and made a huge struggle to lose weight because I knew what the complications associated with the operating room were.
I tried every possible diet.
Including a protein diet, or reducing amounts.
The weight not only did not go down, but also went up.
Even when I lost 18 kg, it went back up and with interest. "

"Finally I decided to go for surgery and have it performed by a colleague. The doctor who operated on me, is from the Asia Medical group. Dr. David Goitin.
We share the same surgical coordinator and love for whiskey.
We both know each other for many years. "" I had several options for places where I could have surgery and chose Rafael Hospital, for several reasons including technological innovation and the possibility to schedule surgery quickly, but no less because I did not yet know the hospital and staff did not want to be treated Favorite of a staff member. "
Dr. Haran booked an appointment as one of the people and before that a counseling session with Dr. Goitin to which he arrived together with his wife Tal." She spoke and I was silent.
She can tell she was just as scared of the surgery as I was.
She told David, 'I do not care what he looks like,' and he replied, 'This is not a cosmetic enhancement surgery, but a life-saving surgery.' "

"As a doctor, I always make sure to ask the surgeons what music they want to put to sleep. When I lay on the operating table, I was like Jesus. You with your eyes aside and buttered David on the music. I said to myself, 'How nice I can concentrate on the music and not the surgery itself.' "You fall asleep and wake up and do not remember what you said. I just remembered that I talked to David."
"I did not feel any pain and in the surgery itself I did not lose weight. The main problem was the new diet. The diet that changed from end to end. Today I can afford to eat only what I like. And I adhere to a healthy diet that includes protein or fat. To date I have lost 46 kg.
The weight is creeping down and I think I will keep going down. "
