Hello

Has anyone has Dr Fuller out of Scripps Green Hospital in San Diego? My surgery is Sept 14th, just a few days away and was wondering who else may have had him and what was your experience!

Hi, CMHandinSD! I had my sleeve done on 9/11 by Dr. Horgan at UCSD. When you feel up to it it would be nice to talk to a local sleever! I just started full liquids today but am struggling a bit with getting enough liquids in. I also still have a lot of pain around my largest incision, although its getting better every day!

I'm also local to San Diego but used Dr Jacobsen at UCSD. I had a good experience and was sleeved Sept 4th. On puréed food now. Yay.

Well, I'm a little late in commenting on this thread, but I had Dr. Takata, Dr Fuller's associate and was sleeved on Aug 22. I have been seeing Dr. Lee, the endocrinologist with Scripps Weight Loss Management group for some time and he spoke very highly of both surgeons. I thought the care at Scripps Green was fantastic. I hope you are doing well and had a good experience with Dr. Fuller.

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I hadn't responded until now. I've been since surgery. I had a great surgery experience. I was sleeved on Sept 14th and was home by noon on the 15th. I had no coomplications and the care I received at Scripps Green was great! I am about 2 1/2 weeks out and alrady lost 33 pounds. I had my first follow up yesterday with Dr. Fuller and the dietician Janet Nash. They are both really great, very helpful. I am on pureed foods, but starting next week I was given the ok to go to stage 4, and start some solids. I did have to get the unfalvored Protein powder becuase I am having a hard time getting Protein in. The shakes just make my stomach hurt at the smell of them. I have tried so many and they all do the same thing. Other than that I'm doing great, haven't had any issues. Which is surprising because of everything I read its not uncommon to have some issues. Hope everyone is doing well Keep me updated on your journey!!

Hi. thanks for posting information on your experience! I am scheduled for the sleeve with Dr Fuller on 8/21. Excited and very nervous. Keeping fingers crossed that BCBS approves my request. Hope you are doing well.
