You are amazing to undertake this by yourself. I am sure it will be a sweet surprise when your husband returns. All the best to you. Take good care of yourself. I love this forum. As the previous poster said, very compassionate and knowledgeable people. Drop in often. Also, many thanks to your husband and to you for serving our country.

Thanks for your support. I had a moment of "what did I do!" breakdown when I came home and he wasn't here to help me (or even just dry my tears and tell me it was gonna be worth it!). I am excited to see his reaction when he comes home later this year. I have 4 months to see what I can do before showing off at his redeployment ceremony. LOL. He has been an amazing support...even from 7000 miles away! I am so glad that I found this forum, it helps to have people who have been there/ or are there that can relate!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
