Any One Is San Diego?



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!

Just wondering if there are any other San Diego Sleevers out there? I am a few days away from surgery! I have surgery on Sept 14th. Very excited but would love to meet some people in my city that have had it or are about to! :rolleyes:

I'm doing well! No complications thus far, and minimal pain. I was in the hospital two nights, mainly because I had nausea (but no vomiting, thankfully!) the first two days. I'm feeling much better now--just somewhat tired. Please feel free to message me with any questions or just to say hi. =)

In San Diego. In the midst of my 3-month medically-supervised diet. Should be scheduled for a date in December with George Mueller at Sharp.

Hi everyone! I'm glad to see chat with people from SD. I'm a newbie and just started my 6 month weight loss program (HMR) two months in four to go and everything is pending once I finish. I also plan to have my surgery completed by dr. Mueller. Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated. I'm extremely excited but also nervous I'm still going through the system. I have sharp as insurance.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
