Topic: OT: Free photo sessions for families of deployed Soldiers
I found this online & think it is AWESOME! I wish I had found it before my hubby deployed!! When you look @ the gallery, you are tough if you don't tear up, especially on the returning home ones!! I emailed them last night & am eagerly awaiting their response!
If anyone has already had this done, could you let the rest of us know how it went??

Topic: FT Bliss
Hi I was wondering if anyone has any information on WLS at Ft Bliss. I had my WLS last Aug. My husband is in Iraq due to be back the end of Mar and he has orders for Ft Bliss. He has a report in date of July 12th. I'm concerned about the aftercare at Ft Bliss. Is there any aftercare or Support group or anything in that area. Any help at all would be greatley appreciated.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi & see how everyone is doing. It has been 3 months since my wls and I have lost 67 pounds!!!! I have dropped from a size 22 to a size 12 in pants. It just seems so surreal. I just had to tell some one about my WOW moment. Hope you all are doing well. Layla

Congrats on things going well for you. It sounds like you are doing great. I have not been shopping yet. I am trying to wait it out and see how things go. But it sounds like you caught some good deals. Keep up the good work. Exercising is a good thing. Me and a girl I work with go to the Y on our lunch break. We even have others wanting to go with us. We are thinking about asking for a corporate rate at the Y.
Well anyway. Good Luck to you.

Sounds like you had a great time. I am in the process of rediscovering heels again. I haven't worn them in ten years. But I'm starting to love them again.
HAPPY BITRHDAY
I think I'm just stuck in the blues. I want my hubby home , but that's not going to happen for a while. Thank goodness he's only in Georgia, but right now even that is too far.
On the bright side, I'm hoping to finally cross into "One"derland this week. It escaped my grasp by 1/2 pound last week. All things considered I am loving life as this smaller healthier person.

Topic: Checking in
Hi everyone,
I thought I would stop by and check in to see how all are doing. It will be 6 weeks this Friday since I had surgery (hard to believe). I am now working on adding back as much regular food as possible to my diet. Since having RNY, I am down 27 lbs., which by what my excel graph says, I am doing better than expected and should be goal by the end of summer if all goes well. I have just started working out again in the gym at work. I now have 4 workout buddies and we all go at lunch time. It is nice that my coworkers are so supportive. My birthday was yesterday and with all the snow here in the Chicago area, my hubby will take me to Red Lobster this weekend to celebrate. I also went shopping the other day and made out like a bandit. Wilson's Leather was having a clearance sale, so I walked out with an Executive bag, a purse, and wallet for approximately $75. Then I went to Shoe Carnival and found this really sexy pair of shoes that change colors, and they also had a buy one on clearance get two free on clearence, so I walked out with 4 pairs of sexy high (4") heels for $60. I just can't wait to go shopping for new clothes.

Congratulations and welcome home. While I had RNY, I did not have a lot of pain and/or gas either. I was actually back to work and feeling normal 10 days after surgery.
I too can relate to the happiness of Tricare paying for the surgery. My only advice, is to make sure to keep an eye on the claims that come in. The hospital bill for my surgery was processed and denied, because Tricare's computer kicked it out of the system. It is easier to catch the problems early than later.

Good to hear that you are home and doing fine. It is only going to get better. Good luck to you in your recovery. I understand what you mean about Tricare covering the cost. It is a BIG relief. Take it easy and welcome to the losers bench.
