Welcome and best of luck to you!

Hi I am Rachel Voll. I was sleeved in June 2013. I have lost 54 lbs and 41 inches from my body total. I am writing a book about my journey and I have also opened The Fabulous Bariatric Closet. I have a Facebook page and we also have an online closet as well, The Fabulous Bariatric Virtual Closet. I am an Army wife at Fort Bliss.

Pre-op for Madigan army hospital in Washington. I've been a Navy wife for 15 years. Anyone else in 2015?

I'm Tina. Navy vet-now Navy spouse, stationed in Japan. My sleeve is scheduled for June 25th. Hello everyone!

This is so awesome for find a support group just for military families!

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?
