So after changing some things around with my profile I guess I deleted the original one!

I am scheduled for August 19 at a military treatment facility. I am super excited, super scared and nervous.

I am not telling family beyond my husband and one of my sister-in-laws. I also told 4 friends, 1 friend found out I was considering it and she was very unsupportive so I most likely will not be telling her that I am scheduled and probably not even after. Privacy during my recovery should be relatively easy to maintain as we don't live around family.

I am blogging my experience as being a military dependent has different challenges and I am one of 2 people from our base who has done this (our base does not offer the surgery and can only refer out for gastric bypass and the band, so I have had to travel to another base several hours away). I am hoping that the struggles I have faced to get into the program will help someone else, right now my blog is not live but after surgery I will change the settings. Hopefully I can pave to the way for someone else who is interested.

My surgery date is August 19 too, I understand not sharing with many, as I've chosen to not do so either, my husband and kids know, along 2 closest friends and my favorite cousin. That's it. I've found that many people, including family can be rude and unsupportive, of which I just don't want or need so they don't need to know anything. Good luck on your surgery and your new life!

Just got call from Dr. My insurance (Fidelis) approved in less than 48 hrs. Confirmed for Aug 12th.
