Introduce Yourselves!!

[Allan Cameron 98]

I'm Al, married to a retired Air Force vet (Lori) and then again I too am a retired Air Force vet. We live in Olympia WA and I got my sleeve done at Madigan on Ft Lewis (JBLM) Jun 7th. I'm civil service working on McChord Field for the Air National Guard. Gained over 200lbs when I retired from active duty, so now I need to loose all of that (and then some) so I can have a healthy retirement with my spouse.

I'm Cynthia, USAF vet and wife of retired USAF. I'm not near an mtf that provides the sleeve, so I'm going to Tijuana Mexico for it, in September. I was originally going to do the band but have heard so many negatives that I decided to pay for the sleeve out of pocket. Where are y'all in the process?
