Hi everyone! Im soo excited to find this forum. Im 30 yrs old, navy wife and mom to two beautiful boys ages 2 1/2 and 4. Im doing this for myself but for my boys too...they deserve to have a healthy mom thats going to be able to keep up with them. I have Tricare prime and this Thursday will be the end of my 6 month supervised dietary program. Im hoping there are no complications with the authorization since 4/1/13 will be the new transition to UHC for military. I'd hate to do this all again. I will be submitting to tricare at the beginning of the year so please keep your fingers crossed. Currently I am 285lbs and 5'8".

Welcome and I am crossing my fingers toes and even my eyes hoping you get a January early Feb date so you don't have to repeat any of this hoop jumping. Congrats on completing the six month diet and weigh ins. Again Welcome there is a wealth of information and support here and we are so glad you found us.

Hey Bo! I am also 5/8 and started at 289lbs. I've had some complications with my surgery but am happy to report I weigh 230lbs and had my surgery the end of October. So good luck and happy losing!
