So I was sleeved on Feb 12th and have had what I consider a very easy recovery. Both physical and emotional. This weekend has been rough for me. Yesterday I vomited for the first time, and I hadn't even over ate. It was more than 1hr after I had breakfast. Don't know what that was all about.

Gosh, where to begin. I started this process the end of October with my online seminar and consultation with the Surgeon. At the time I only had insurance through my husbands work that had a obesity exclusion. Open enrollment for my company was November 1st. I found out my work's insurance covered weight loss surgery.
