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:

Wow, congrats your surgery is just around the corner. I live in Escondido and had surgery on 8-14-12 if fact today is one month post op. My doctor is George Mueller out of Sharp's. I hope everything goes smoothly for you. I had no problems at all. Keep in touch .

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. =)

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
