Coastie Wife

Hi everyone! Hope to have my surgery in September 2004 at Travis AFB California. Just thought I would post on the military board... Donna

Hi Donna, I have seen you on the Cali board. I just found this board. I'm a little slow. I'm not North bay. I'm down at Los Angeles AFB. Well, see you around!!! Christie

Hi Christie, What is your surgery date? Your a Coastie wife at an AFB? I have a friend whose husband is at an AFB in Texas... teaching something...?? Donna

oops, realized that was the title to MY post! sorry...

Hey Donna, I cannot believe I never noticed the military board! I am a CG wife and in the bay area as well. I have been looking for a local support system as I am new to the area. I thought I was the only overweight coastie wife out there! LOL Message me and we'll keep track of one another! Nice to meet ya! Jenn

Nice to meet you too Jenn! I am having my surgery at Travis AFB. I've known two other Coastie wives to have it there recently and they both said they'd do it again in a heart beat! They are both doing very well and loosing a lot of weight. I live in Novato. I am not sure how far you are from Travis, but there's a support group starting up there. They've only had one meeting. I will find the web page and send you the link. ttfn, Donna

Hiya Coastie wife here, Had my surgery March 9th, have lost 73 pounds gone from a size 20 to a size 6/8!!! I would so do this surgery again in a heartbeat!!! Not taking any of my medications anymore!!! ~Nicole
