Hello another navy wife here. DH is on the Gettysburg, we are in Mayport, Florida at NS Mayport.

Hello. I just came across this post and figured what the heck. I am also a navy wife. We are currently stationed in KINGSBAY, GA. I'm originally from Goose Creek, SC. HI BRIT!!!! Don't know you but saw you're in my neck of the woods (born and raised there until we moved here 2 1/2 yrs ago). We are trying to decide whether or not we'll be re-enlisting for shore duty next year. We probably will. If so, we'll be going back to Goose Creek. My husband used to be Staff at the NWS. Yeah...he's a Nuke. I know one thing for sure....those subs make me nervous. Boy I am rambling. i just wanted to introduce myself to everyone out there. Right now I am in my beginning phases....waiting for my pcp to get auth to see the surgeon. I am really hoping I get the auth, because from what I understand....it won't be too hard after that to get the approval. From what I've read..the doctor's staff does the rest of the work (pretty much) for you. I've, like everyone else, dealt with this and am tired of yo yo dieting. I miss doing the things I used to enjoy and am anxious to have the engery I used to have. Right now, just the thought of going outside to play w/ the kids is very discouraging. I can't wait to go through the journey of WLS. I hope to be able to get the chance! I would love to hear from any and everyone who had to deal w/ tricare prime. What should I expect????? It would be Greatly appreciated. God bless ya'll!!!!!

I DO I DO I DO have a hubby that is retierd navy man. He retierd after 20 years. My name is Debra. I'm 42 years old. We have no children together but he has 3 kids and i have 2 kids. All grown and out of the house other then my 16 year old son. Take care, Debra

Hi! My husband just got stationed here in Great Lakes in August and I was wondering if there were any other Navy wives or spouses that have had WLS surgery and such. I have met 1 person so far that is in this area. I hope to hear from some of you out there.
