Any Navy wives out there?
Hi Everyone!
I just found this page and thought I'd leave a message.I'm also a navy wife who has been to San Diego for a year back in 2002-2003 and had a nasty experience with a doctor there who was rude and made it all very disappointing for someone who was seeking help by getting WLS. We moved in July 03 and are now in Mississippi, found a great surgeon here , although I have to go all the way to New Orleans, but I had a surgery date after only three months. I encourage everyone who has been overweight all their lives and is seeking this as a tool to lose the weight and keep it off, even though I've not even had my surgery yet. I have many friends and a family member who had the procedure and they are so happy. I'm looking forward to going back to San Diego in a few years ( hopefully !! ) and that time, actually being skinny enough to ride the rides at the parks, and not being looked at like a freak when I go out with hubby
My tip for all of you who are thinking about it.. keep your spirits up. Tricare covers the procedure if you meet the criteria, and if you keep all of your papers in order, you shouldn't have any problems at all with the insurance. Feel free to Email me if you like!
Best wishes to all of you.. and for all of you in San Diego.. I MISS CALIFORNIA!! hehe

Navy wife here also. My husband is deployed on the George Washington, and my surgery is 7/2. He will not be here for my surgery, but atleast I have my parents here to support me. I hope to be a size smaller when he returns towards the end of July hopefully. I am nervous though not having him here, as this will my first time in the hospital without him by my side. He called me yesterday on my birthday, to wish me luck next week, and to tell me he is ok. As the days draw closer, I find myself second guessing myself wondering if i am doing the right thing. I am so excited one minute and scared the next.
