Any fellow CF members out there that had WLS? I'm full of questions in regards to the process

  Morning all ,


I'm a 16 year Canadian Forces member who  has chosen to go ahead with WLS, after multipible deployments in Afghan, Dubai UAE and Haiti I'm finally in a static posting and am ready to make this change in my life. I'm wondering if any pre or post op Mil mbrs can share there experence and there timeframe. 

I'm seriously considering self pay.


Any help would be great 


Cheers

Hey, congrats on getting healthier.  I was in Air Force, ATC, and retired after 21 years.  I selfpayed  last year and am doing great.  I did have a reference from either QR&O's or one of the other orders but I can't get at it anymore that said the military would cover WLS. Try searching the orders.  I am looking at trying to get back into the reserves now and not sure how they will react to my surgery. I am 9 months post op and 100+lbs down from my release weight and so much healthier, hopefully they take that as a plus.  Good Luck.
