I’ve been on this journey for over three years now and I am one more step closer to having WLS. I was approved almost three years ago and on the waiting list to have surgery through Tricare but there was a year wait. During this time, my husband returned back from Iraq and got out of the military so my surgery didn’t happen. After he returned back from Iraq I tried to get approval from AETNA and was denied and just didn’t have the fight in me. I had other priorities at the time. My husband was having a rough transition back from Iraq and still has problems to this day but in order to continue to be strong for him I need be healthier for myself. I am a mother of three (2 boys 14 & 12 and a 7 yro girl) and started my battle with weight during my first pregnancy gaining 90 lbs and continued to gain weight over the past 15 yrs.
