I just found this message...

I just found this message board. This is great to be able to talk WLS with other members of our Navy family. My name is Dana. My wife, Patti, and I are both considering having the WLS. In fact, I have a surgery date of 5 December 2005. I have spent hours and hours on this website reading the wls stories of others and trying to organize myself in preparation. I am interested in hearing from any of our extended military family on their wls experiences. First, a little about my wife and I. I am a retired Master Chief Hospital Corpsman. I retired in 1993 from the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, MD. I spent 22 years in the Navy. My wife Patti is an Emergency Room Nurse at Sacred Heart Hospital in Destin FL. We are going tjrough this life altering weight loss procedure together. Patti hasn't received a surgery date as yet but we hope she does soon.
