I have been overweight most of my life....sure there were times when my weight wasn't high but I was never known as the "skinny girl" except for a short time in middle school. Life is good for me. I have three children, Lexi 15, Brandon 11, and Matt 8. I gained most of my "morbid obesity" after having my tubes tied when Matthew was born. I also developed PCOS after the tubal ligation as well. It took 7 years to be diagnosed and here I sit today, hopefully days away from my lap band story.
I am married to a wonderful Navy man and we have been married 15 years. We are currently stationed in Hawaii. I began this journey earlier this year when I found out that Tricare began approving the Lap Band Surgery. I had previously done research on Gastric Bypass but decided it wasn't something that I wanted to commit my body to. In February, I went to my first information meeting to get the ball going, from there I went to the Nutritional Classes followed my diet and have gone through all of the steps that Tripler required (I understand those have changed so if you are reading this for Tripler, go by what you are told now! Geoff will be your guidance in the proper requirements for you).
