My name is Kristen. I am a 33 year old single mom in KS. I just had the gastric sleeve done on 1-5-15. They injured my spleen while in there so my recovery has been rough. I am lucky that my insurance covers the surgery and I have options in my area. A lot of people don't have insurance coverage and they have to drive far away just to find a surgeon. With that said, today is day three and I am pretty miserable.

congrats and hang in there. I hope you have a lot of support who can help with your little one(s) while you get back on your feet. welcome. it gets better. use this site and you will succeed.

Thanks and I'm looking forward to it getting easier. It's just one day at a time right now. I am currently walking my living and dining room walk walk walk, sip sip sip.
