Hey there Erin! Good luck on your endeavor with the Marine Corps. I am having weight loss surgery Feb 1 and am very excited. I spent 6 years in the Marine Corps from 1992 - 1999. It was a great experience. I had a lot of problems with my weight while I was in, therefore when my time was up I got out. Bootcamp is soooooooooooooo not easy, but if you are willing to do your best, and give up your free will for a few months it is worth it.
I am now a Marine wife, my husband has over 18 years in and will be retiring at 20. We have 2 great children and a pretty great life. My husband is leaving for Okinawa in May, and I will be living in Arizona. Let me know how your quest goes.
Sincerely,
Laura Christopher, Camp Pendleton, CA

Hey Karen!
I just found the Marine Corps message board and read your post. You had surgery in August, right?
How are you feeling?!?!? I hope it went well! I'm sure recovery isn't easy with a little one running around. I'm 3 years post op and it's the best decision I ever made.
Take care and good luck!!!!! It only gets better and better.
Love-
Erin

Hi everyone!
I just realized this forum existed! What a great idea. I've posted on the other message boards...perhaps more of the Marine family will find this one as well.
I had myWLS on August 7, 2001 and have lost 165 lbs. to date. I feel better than I ever have in my life. I have an incisional hernia that needs to be repaired, but I will have that taken care of soon.
I am currently in the early stages of enlisting with the Marine Corps. My WLS has been the greatest hurdle so far...I am having to jump through hoops to prove that I can make it through Basic, but I expected as much. So many people have misconceptions about what the surgery actually is...and I wonder if they think my guts will fall out when Im running *lol*. I have already been initially declined a waiver on the first round, but I am appealing the decision with another route through BUMED, so cross your fingers for me.
I'll keep you posted, and if I make it you have to promise to write me in boot camp.
Love-
Erin
