Hello from Baumholder, Geramy

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I am stationed in Germany with my hubby who is in the army. I should be having my surgery in Jan 08. Shawnna

Welcome. When my mother was in the Army we were stationed at Baumholder. We lived in Wetzel. I went to Baumholder American High School. Good luck to you with your surgery. I just had my last Friday.

Congrats on your surgery date.. Keep us posted on how you are doing.. Don't hesitate to ask any questions..

Thank you everyone for you well wishes. I will try to keep everyone posted as to when I find out a specific date.

Welcome and congratulations. That will be here very soon. We are here for you any time you need. Are you having your surgery at a military hospital or local? Just think you can come back home and surprise your family and friends with a new body. It is really fun to lose the weight. Diana

I am having my surgery at a local German hospital. I though about that too. We just got here in July and will be here for three years. I have told the most important people in my life and they are all supportive. I am very lucky. But I also asked them not to say anything to anyone. I want that to be my decision to tell people. And having the surgery in Europe and not going home for a couple of years helps. This allows me to make it easy to tell or not. If I choose not to tell then they probably wont think any thing about it because it will be so long since they have seen me. Thank you so much for your support and kind words. I will keep everyone posted on my progress. Shawnna
