When I first joined BariatricPal I thought the Veteran's Forum was for military veterans. So, I skipped over the posts thinking -- isn't it great that veterans have their own forum but since I'm not one it's not for me. I did wonder was what unique problems they may have other than navigating the VA.

Now that I know what the Veterans Forum is for I still notice when military veterans post.

To all the Veteran's who have served my country (USA) and those from around the world who have served to make our world a better place --- THANK YOU!

I thought that too! Thank you to all of our veterans!

@ Inner Surfer Girl, you made me chuckle. I agree with your posting

HUGE THANK YOU'S FOR YOUR SERVICE to all the veterans out there including my husband and two daughters.

@ Just Watch Me, you are doing great! You've broken the 200 mark. Good for you!

I'm hoping I am there before I head off to Florida the end of January. I'm 19 pounds away. I will be 2 months post-op on the 16th of this month.

I will be happy not to have to use a seatbelt extender too, used to be so embarassed. I used to dread flying because of the seating and used to have anxiety about it.

Hugs

Thank you, and Happy Veteran's Day to all veterans and active duty service men and women and their families!!
