Wow I can't believe it's been this long since I have sat down to blog. A lot has changed, Last time I blogged I had started the 2 week low carb diet, had a surgery date and all was going on track. Unfortunately my labs came back I was really low on iron and vita D. So I was pushed back a month so I could add supplements and raise those numbers to be safe for surgery. During this period thought I had an unfortunate turn of events, combined with ER visits, hemorrhaging, ultrasounds, tests and by the time I got everything straightened out I received word that the Bariatric Center on Bragg was closing down. The whole reason I decided to do the surgery was the program they had in place that was top notch at following people and keeping people on track. Now the program is gone, one dr is retiring and the other is going into civilian care in Charlotte. If I go out to a civilian care (my only option) I would only be able to get the band or the bypass, because of now Tricare isn't covering the sleeve with civilian providers. So I am currently not having surgery. I am still loosing weight though, and it is slowly coming off. SO until things change I will be trying one more time the old fashioned way.
What else- oh yeah, Mike retired. We are now living the retirement life. He got a temp job with boeing working on v-22. his hours are great, the pay is great, now just keep your fingers crossed and prayers coming that he gets to go full time employee.
I hopefully won't let this blog rest as long as I did this time, so keep tuned in to see what's next....
