Hello Everyone,

I am new here.... My Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery was Wednesday,May 4, 2011 in Stratford, NJ performed by Dr. Luis Balsama. On Wednesday morning while going to the hospital it began to rain and I remember thinking how awesome because for me the rain symbolized washing away the old and allowing the new to come and be nourished.

Anyhow as I entered the Admission office in the hospital the woman registering confided in me that she had a the gastric by pass weight loss surgery performed about three years ago and it was the best decision she had ever made in her life. I felt a little more encouraged although 2 different procedures that i was moving in the right direction for my life.

Anyhow i am six days after surgery and i am still sore but im feeling stronger and better everyday. I have lost about 10 lbs already and i'm excited to see what's to come once im back in the gym.

I'm so excited that my future looks bright... I may need shades....LOL corny i know but extremely excited
