Hello I am new to this site after having surgery 3 years ago, well almost 3. I do not have a group to go to like I did in Colorado or Utah so a girl at Walmart recommended this site. My husband is retired military and he now works for the Federal Government in the mining department. So we moved 13 places during his time in the Army and now with this job we are now living in our third state.

I work in the medical field and am hoping to get hired in medical claims for a big company 30 miles from where we live. I am the mother of 1 girl and 2 boys, all followed in Dad's footstep and went in the Army. My oldest is 25 and he is about to become a CWO in aviation, my daughter is 22 and a nurse in the Army and is in Iraq right now and my youngest is 19 and a MP stationed at Fort Bragg; he will be going over in 2009 to Iraq.

I had a RNY at the age of 49 and my top weight was 342 lbs. I am now saving up to have my body lift done. I have had my breast reconstruction as I am a survivor of Breast Cancer a year ago.

Well that is all for now I will write more later on after I get this all figured out.

My name is Orifiel but my friends call me Angel which is my middle name.

Thank you for your welcome. It is harder as a Mom than as a wife, but that was hard also.

Welcome to the area, I live in Exeter close by you.

Women are angels.

We are flexible.
