I depends where you are stationed and whether or not they can mnage weight loss surgery with all the depolyments going on. Here in the San Diego area they are doing a lot of them right now. When I went in, after my first son was born, I weighed 220 at 5 feet tall and the Dr. said I was not fat enough. Went in after the birth of my second child, 2 years later, weighed 210, same height, same doctor...lol, and was approved to meet with the surgeon. The surgeon said I could have any surgery I wanted but I had to wait until my daughter (who was 6months old at the time) turned a year. She will be a year on July 21st and my surgery is scheduled for Aug 10. So, it just depends on the Dr., the duty station and whether the hospital has the manpower.
Good Luck!
