My surgery is quickly approaching and scheduled for Monday, August 26th, 2013. Admittedly I'm feeling nervous but mostly excited, because of the opportunities this transformation will bring. I am 4'11.5 and weigh 205 with a BMI of 40/41. Tomorrow marks the last day of a two-week pre-op diet, which consisted of 3 Protein shakes (bariatric advantage) and a sensible meal (lean protein, veggies, fruit, whole grain and fat). So excited for the journey and recognize the potential risks and challenges that lie ahead, but I know the benefits of losing weight are worth whatever obstacles i might face along the way post-op. my surgeon is Dr. George Mueller at Sharp Memorial and really trying to prep myself emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.

So, if you are in San Diego or just someone willing to help guide me through this process, let me know. I look forward to having support from fellow sleeves! Thank you in advance for your help and I look forward to hearing from you!! Wish me luck!!

Good Luck! I am pre op in orange county. I'm just up the street You'll do great!

I was sleeved on June 17 with Dr Mueller as well. No problems at all. The best advice I could give you is walk walk and walk, also I only had ice chips after when mouth was dry. Heather was my nurse the first day and was great! Good luck. I am here to support you if you need it
