I am a military spouse of 15yrs. I have a wonderful husband of 17 years and 2 beautiful children. I have been overweight all of my adult years. As a child and even as a teenager, I was very skinny and active in sports. I am the baby girl of nine children, and of course the biggest of nine children. I am very upset about my weight; but I do know that I put myself in the position and only I can get myself out of it. I have been approved through the military 3 times to have this done and every time I have been to afraid to follow through. This time, I have my mind set straight and I know this is something I have to do to keep on living for my family.
As time slowl aproaches, I am getting more and more excited. I can't wait to see the pounds melt away. I am not sure about everything the future holds for me, but one thing I am sure of; I will not be holding on to all this weight. I have not yet got a surgery date but hopefully within the next few weeks.
