I'm just in the beginning stages of my sleeve journey and was wondering if anyone else here is from San Diego.

I'm in San Diego and have Kaiser, I start my Options class on March 21st.

I live in San Clemente, and had my surgery at Scripps in La Jolla.

Woohoo! Finally San Diego in the house 

Hi there!!

Hello from Sacramento Kaiser. Just started the Gastric Sleeve program last week. I was at 280lbs. now 272lbs. Have to lose 10lbs then they schedule the Sike doc. appoint. Then schedule surgery and I lose the last 5lbs before. My Wife is helping by doing the 1200 calorie diet w/me. I was going with the lap band but as you probably where discouraged by Kaiser as well as the bad long term results. They say it may take 3-4 months from now to get a surgery date. Where are you at in this process? I'am 55yrs old male.

Hi I live in encinitas and my surgery date is April 24 I,am just starting my 3 week lq diet on April 3 I,am have my surgery at ucsd San Diego medical has anyone had their sleeve there

I live in San Clemente but had my surgery at Scripps in La Jolla with Dr. Bhoyrul.

Hi guys! I am in San Diego & getting sleeved on 5/14 with Dr. Mueller at Sharp Memorial. I start my pre-op diet on 4/30 and I am totally excited.

I had mine at scripps in La Jolla in December.

Sleevedreamer, so you are 4-5 months post- op? How are you adjusting? How much have you lost?

I have lost 41 lbs. and was never nauseated nor had any pain at all. I am only 15 lbs. from my goal. I love my sleeve and it loives everything I eat. I still can't eat over 8 oz. at a time and I can't get in over 800 calories a day but I get in alot of Protein and drink a gallon of flavored Water a day. Take Bariatric Advantage chewable multi-Vitamins and Iron pills. I have gone from a size 18 to a size 8. Please, please follow your doctor's orders for pre-op and post-op diet and don't try to rush things after surgery. Your time will come when you can eat regular foods again. You need to give your stomach a chance to heal. Good luck!

Oh don't worry, I don't play around when it comes to medical things. I am very by the book. I am hoping to be as happy & successful with my my sleeve as you are. Thanks!

My surgery date is 7/30, my dr. Mueller as well! I started my Pre-op today! Talk about a reality check!

Awesome! Dr mueller did a great job and the nurses at sharp are great. I'm down 50 now and 2 months out. Feel free to send me a personal message if u have questions. Good luck!!

Hi ladies, I'm a newbie and just starting my journey I've completed two months of the mandatory 6 months. I plan to have my surgery completed with dr. Mueller as well I have sharp for insurance. Any suggestions? Wait time or things I should be aware off. I would really appreciate it. I'm so excited and looking forward to my new life

I'm in South OC, just starting my journey and will be going to Dr. Peter LePort in Fountain Valley.

Hi Everyone, I am in Lake Forest, but getting sleeved at Scripts Green in San Diego. I've done all my pre-op in Del Mar and love doc and staff:) anxiously waiting for insurance approval. Starting working out 4 weeks ago, hoping my body will handle the surgery better. Also because I am scared out of my mind.
