Hello...I check this board ever few days and there is never any activity. Just thought I'd see if there is anyone else checking and if so, we could get some support going since we have something in common besides WLS.

Topic: RE: Active Duty...does anyone know if Uncle Sam will do mine
I am active duty and was read the regulations (by my hospital CC at the time) stating that "military doctors are not allowed to perform weight loss surgery on any AD military member". Now I was a self pay for Gastric Lap band. I would definatley research on how to get it yourself if you are serious about having surgery done.
You can read my profile to get all the hoops I went through. The major part was that your medical records had to be annotated with the surgery and Tricare needed my to sign paperwork stating they were not responsible for anythink that happened to me.
One reason I chose Lapband was knowing that if it didn't work that it was 100% reversible. I talked to a few doctors at my new base and they agreed that this was the better choice for me. That and I was 70 pounds overweight compaired to the 100+ you needed to be in order to qualify for the Bypass surgery.
I have so far lost 55+ pounds and am no longer worried about not being able to continue my progression in the AF. I have lost to many awards, and promotion opps.
If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.
