My son, support being deployed to Germany



Recommended Posts

I feel fortunate in the fact that my son will be able to take me to surgery and stay a few days. He is a Sgt in the US Army and just recieved order for 3 years in Germany, including a year in Afganistan.

On a selfish note, I will see him before the surgery, then a day over thanksgiving vacation (he is going to the girlfriends family) and I will be able to see him the day he ships out. When I next see him, it will be when I go out for a european vacation in a year or so. He probably wont recognize me!!!

While I am concerned about his Afganistan time, I think this is a great duty station for him.

I know how you feel, my hubby is a SSG in the army and he is about to head to korea for a year then we will be headed for texas..He isn't going to be here when I have surgery. It is hard when they are away, but you got to find stuff today and just think man you are going to europe next year just imagine what you are going to look like and even more important what you will feel like. I wish you all the best and I will keep your son in my prayer for a safe return.:thumbup:

It is shocking when you find out that they are leaving. My husband is in Afghanistan now and was worried about me and surgery (9/15). He was able to call day of surgery and check on me, it was good to hear his voice. My mother is here to take care of ne.

Just focus on being a new and healthy you and know by having your surgery, you are adding years to your life, more to spend with him.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
