The Waiting Game.........

Hello Ladies!

I am a newbie and like many of you I have tried and failed at dieting for nearly 7 years~ I am a Military Wife stationed at JBLM, WA~ I was recently suggested by my PCM to have bariatric surgery~ After long nights of research I decided to pursue getting the "Sleeve" done. Today I went to the orientation seminar where they stated that this process takes from 5-7 months....WOWZER! My OCD personality went straight into panic mode...lol.... { don't judge}........

I am extremely active I am involved in a kickboxing academy 3-5x per week as well as roller skating however my weight is at a constant stand still!!!!!!

What was the process like for you going through the TRICARE system~ How long did it take for you to get a surgery date from time of initial orientation? More importantly what did you do while waiting?

Thanks in advance~

T~ :wub: :wub:
