Hi, my name is Christina! I am 5 days post-op, and had the Gastric Sleeve surgery done at Boston Medical Center on Dec. 30, 2014. My doctor was Dr. Donald Hess, a wonderful guy!!! Just starting out on my journey, and would like a veteran surgery buddy/mentor to help guide me along my way, answer my questions, and generally give me some support and encouragement. I am quite friendly, and very motivated to use this amazing tool I have been given to become a healthier me!!! ???? We can communicate on here only, if that's how you're most comfortable, or I wouldn't mind exchanging e-mail addresses and/or phone numbers as we get to know each other. I would sure appreciate the support, and hope someone is kind enough to take me under her wing!!! Thank you!!! ????

Glad to hear the surgery went well. Good luck with everything!

Congrats on getting your surgery.
