HI! I am an ARMY wife too! Even almost the same handle too! lol I am in the middle of going from a bad band experience to Bypass in about a week. I'm nervous because I lost about 80lbs on the band but, it was SO hard and I gained it all back. Do you ever regret doing the bypass? I'm In FL but would def keep in touch and help prop you up when you are in a slump! God knows I need that too, I know quite a bit about some meds that could help you. they helped me after I went into a tailspin with my band and saw a psychiatrist who is a specialist in addiction, compulsion, and eating disorders. It gave me the first bit of actual control over eating ever in my life. It might help you too (and counseling as well). The drug helped me at least only put back my pre band weight and not an additional 100lbs! Look forward to chatting with you!

      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.
