Military spouses

Looking for other military spouses to talk with. I am a 37 year old mother of 6 girls soon to be the grandparent of a granddaughter. My husband is in the army. I haven't had my surgery as of yet do to the fact right before my surgery date I found out I was pregnant with my last daughter. She is now 4 months old and I am ready to have it done. Any advice or support I can get will be greatly appericated.

Thanks,
Therese

Hi Therese, my name is Pam and my husband is also in the Army.  Wow 6 girls, you sure do have your hands full.  I have 3 my oldest is 25, 19 and youngest is 14.  I had gastric bypass in Oct 2009 and lost 135 lbs and I'm still losing.  Goal weight was 150 but once I got there and seen I could lose more I went to a goal of 140.  I never thought I would get to the 130's.  My doctor told me I would only lose 100, I proved him wrong.  That's exciting that your going ahead with your surgery, do you know which procedure you are going with?  I am also in the process of getting plastic surgery on my stomach and  boobs.  I could use a total body lift but that is way too expensive.  So I am trying to get just the 2 done right now.  Clothes hide alot but once I'm naked...YUCK!!!!  Is your husband deployed at all?  My husband was in Iraq 2 times but he's done for good now, he only has 1 1/2 years to go till he can retire from the Army.  It's rough raising a family with one of the spouses in the military.  Just wanted to say HI and to wish you luck on your upcoming surgery.  Keep me posted. 

Have a wonderful week!
