Hi
Hi There! 
I am not a military wife, but am actually military myself! I am in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. I am also prior Air Force. I have been in for 4.5 years. I lost a bunch of weight before I came in by working third shift and taking stacker 2's and only eating once a day. Yeah I know, healthy!!!
Anyway over the past 4 years, actually more like 3 because I did keep the weight off for a bit, I gained back the 65 pounds I lost and about 20 more. I have finally decided to etak back my life. I have done all the yo-yo dieting and everything else.
I have spoken to a few key individuals in my command and they say they will do whatever it takes to make sure I can remain in the Guard after my surgery. They all know how good of a soldier I am outside of the weight issue. Of course having the extra weight I cannot pass my PT test. My command has been very lenient with me up to this point and they are actually very glad to see that I am finally doing something about this.
Anyway I have approval from my insurance company and am now just waiting for my date from the surgeons office. I have many goals after this surgery and if you check ot my profile you will see a few of them are military related.
Anyway that's part of my story! I would also like to see this board take off. If you don't mind I am going to throw the link to it in my signature.
