Hi Wanda!
If you are still covered under Tricare you should contact them to see if you can see a doctor here at MAMC. I had surgery in May and I have also stalled for a month so far. I know the reason is because I have not made the right food choices and stopped exercising. But if you really think that you stretched your pouch you should speak to someone. The support groups are wonderful here on post. I would really try to go to one. Take care!

Whether or not to have the skin removed is a very personal choice. If you are at goal and have been there for at least 6-12 months and you are unhappy with your loose skin, consult a plastic surgeon. You can talk to him/her and then make an informed decision on what is right for you.
Good luck!

I am so sorry for your loss. I, unfurtunately, can relate to your story. My brother was diagnosed with lung cancer in October 08 - he passed away June 5, 2009. Additionally, my Mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December 08 - she passed away October 29, 2009.
Cancer is a horrible disease and there is no greater pain than watching your loved one die from this horrible illness. Please take comfort in the fact that you did everything that you could. Even when "everything" meant being with your Mom and allowing her to pass away with the least amount of pain possible.
I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Any time you need a shoulder , know that I understand . I was with my Mom when she passed . It is not something that I ever thought I could do . But , When it's your Mom , somehow you find the strength .
I have at times turned to food in my grief . Old habits creap back in . I try to have lots of fresh fruit , lunchmeat & cheese available . I've eaten 2 oranges this evening . But , that's better than a lot of things I could have eaten & have . It's a challenge , but one i'm tough enough to keep a handle on . I'm confindent you are too .

Thank you for your kind advise.... I can definately can relate to the "peace at last" . My Mom has not been herself this past year.. and the cancer diagnosis accellerated her Anxiety disorder. It was hard to see my Mom live in a state of confusion and anxiety. I am gratefull that I was able to be with her at the end. And was availible to come and help her when she had her panic attacks.
My food today has been the best its been in weeks... I am SO thankful... I am so worried that I am going to eat my way through my grief. I called the King County Grief center today... and they are mailing me some info about grief counciling and support groups.
My mom was one of my cheerleaders... I know she is looking down on me wanting me to stay successful!
