Hello All!

My name is JoAnna, I am an Army wife and mother of three beautiful little girls!  I have not had WLS yet, but have gone to 4 seminars (1 in Okc, 2 in VA and 1 here in TX).  I guess you can say that I am gathering all my information before I have it done.  I think I have found the surgeon that I want to perform the surgery, but I'm not sure if my PCP will let me go outside the base.  I have an appt with her on Tuesday to get a referal.  I also have an appt with the suregeon on April 7th....that seems so far away...lol.  Anyway, it's great to find a site that has so much support.  I look forward to becoming friends with you all! :)

Ttyl,
JoAnna

HI,
I am Donna, My Hubby retired from the Navy about 6 years ago, and I have to say this is most time we have with each other in the whole 22 yrs we have been married. I just found out That the local Army Hospital accepted me as a patient. Shoker that was, I did not expect them to have room for me. So if any one knows anything about Womack Army Hospital in Fort Bragg, NC. I would love to ask some general questions.
It was nicew to met all of you and I am just getting started with the WLS, so any help would be greatly recieved. I do have a general question. I am having trouble finding a already in my files pic to add here but they say they are 2 big.... any ideas??
Thanks
Donna

I am Robin.  I am an Army wife.  Been married 18 yrs with 10 yrs of that him being active duty.  We have two sons, 15 yo and 9 yo.

I am just now starting on the journey towards WLS.  I have my first appt with my surgeon on Fri Oct 1.  

I am going to go with RNY, unless the surgeon recommends other.

I am 115-120 lbs overweight with a few co-morb. 

I currently live at Ft Hood TX.  Lived in Schweinfurt/Bad Kissingen Germany, Ft Irwin CA, and Ft Bragg NC also.

I am an FRG leader for my husband's company and work part time.

I would like to meet other military spouses who have gone through or will go through gastric bypass.  Would like to share stories, tips, tricks etc.  What is it like having this and then your soldier deploys.  My hubby has deployed 5 times, but multiple field exercises and I have gained weight each time.  Well, I lose in the begining and then gain it back plus some.

My name is Charline. I am an Army wife and also served in the Army. We have two boys 14 and 11 months old. My husband is currently stationed at Fort Eustis, VA but on orders to PCS in March to Fort Hood, TX. I hope to soon have RNY so make room on the loser's bench for me. :-)

Hi ya'll! My name is Danie and I am an Army spouse and a nurse. I am and LPN and currently in school for my RN. Hubby is deployed in Iraq has been there 11 months now and should get back right after Chrismas. I have my lab tests scheduled Nov. 22 and will meet with my surgeon to schedule my RNY that day. I want it to be Dec. 16 since that is the day after my last final and a week before Christmas. My schedule will be crazy pretty much until I graduate in May and then in June Hubby and I PCS to Hawaii so I hope to be down around 60-70lbs by then.  If anyone else is in the Ft. Riley area and wants a buddy let me know I don't really have anyone out here to go to the gym with. :)

Hi everyone,
I'm Brooke.  I'm 32 years old and I'm a Navy wife.  We are stationed in Pensacola, Florida.  I've been on Tricare Standard for almost 9 years, with the exception of the two years we lived in Japan.   I have not had surgery, but plan to have RNY.  I am almost to the end of my requirements and therefore, should have a date in the next month or so for sugery.  I'm hoping!  I'm looking forward to getting to know ya'll.
