Okay so I am new to this site and have found so much useful information and it's great to have a large group of women on here that have been through every stage of this process. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and I am going to request for a referral to have the sleeve!! I am so excited and more than ready to begin my journey. My husband is in the Army and we aren't stationed at a military base, so I'm hoping that the nearest MTF which is Wright Patterson AFB will approve and not give me hoops to jump through to get this surgery.

Good luck to you on your journey. The men and women here are awesome and very supportive at all stages of your journey. Remember, if you do have hoops to jump through, you will get through them and make it to your surgery date.

Hope all goes well! Good luck and keep us posted!
