Hey! im getting banded on Wednesday!

Im so excited, but i keep hearing about how important support is and how great it would be with small group meetings. I do have my family and my wonderful husband to lean on but..they dont have weight problems, on top of that I just moved from CA to Germany. So my question is are there any people on this site that are living in Schweinfurt ,germany and are possibly military spouces as well?

Hi, did you find a buddy? I'm not in Germany but I am the spouse of a retired Air Force Major. I was banded on August 31, 2009 and have lost 95 lbs, most of that in the first year. It's coming off much slower now but still coming off and I think it' the best thing I have ever done! You must have been banded already. If you want write back and let me know how you are doing. I know there are always lots of questions at first. Good Luck!

We visited Ramstein once while we were stationed in Italy. I was always jealous of the people stationed in Germany because I liked it a lot more than Italy. Do you have to do through the whole liquid diet and get the psychological test over there? Even though I still have TriCare, I used my insurance at work so I don't know what requirements TriCare has or, I guess, you would just be using the military hospital. It's all worth it in the end anyway!
