5 days post-op, and in need of a Veteran Sleever Buddy/Mentor! (Ladies preferable!)



Recommended Posts

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!!! ????

Congrats on getting your surgery.

You can always PM me with questions. I'll be happy to share my experience.

If you have any questions that you feel are more private, you can always post them in the ladies powder Room - http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/432-powder-room-ladies-gone-wild/

      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.
