introduction

never knew there was a military message board. i am a military wife of 20 years. my hubby is in the army. have two kids who are 20 and 15 both still at home. wish i could say the same for husband. he is gone more than home. but such is army life. i had rny 0ct 30th. lost 70 lbs so far. feel so much better. went from a 24 to a 14/16. had rny at ft carson colo. no hiccups along the way. hubby was not here so my dad came to help for a couple of weeks. such a huge blessing. i have yet to see my surgeon again. i go on the 17th for my follow up. well, i had a three week visit and that has been all. so i am anxious to hear what he has to say. he did say that after a year that i can have a tummy tuck. i really neeed it but i am also scared of the pain. oh well, that is another 6 months down the road. so please share of your info, and lets keep this board going.

Kay, Wow you are awesome, only one visit since surgery. Does the Army pay for tummy tucks after RNY? Amy

i don't know if it is awesome, just what the dr wanted. yes, tricare will foot the bill for the tummy tuck. my surgeon is the one who approves the surgery and tricare accepts his word that i will need it. hope you are doing well.
