Any one have surgery done at Scripps La Jolla Green in San Diego, CA



Recommended Posts

I have my surgery scheduled for July 22nd...any one have there surgery done there? My doctor is Dr. Takata?

My husband had his sleeve done with Dr. Takata 3 years ago. He had a great surgery and recovery and is maintaining his 100 pound weight loss 3 years later :) I also had back surgery at Scripps Green and they were fantastic! Hopefully you'll get a room with an ocean view like I did which was soo awesome. I would have gotten my sleeve with Dr. Takata, but the Scripps Bariatric program doesn't take my insurance. Don't worry...you're in GREAT hands at a lovely hospital...good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
