Is there anyone from or at Fort Hood that can give me any info? I am hoping to have RNY done here in VA before we PCS in March, but want to know if there is a bariatric surgery team at any of the MTFs at Fort Hood. Or will I need to get a referral to a civillian doctor for my follow ups? If not, does the nutrition clinic provide bariatric surgery support for those that have had surgery?
I did find some info on another web site that briefly said there is a bariatric team at Fort Hood, but I'm not sure how old or accurate that information is. I'm just hoping I dont have to start this entire process over again. Joys of military life.

They have a great bariatric team at Hood. I've had a couple of friends (I'm from Texas) have their VSG performed at Ft. Hood, and they have all loved their experience and follow up care.
