Starting my journey

I spoke with the surgeon's coordinator and she is sending me the seminar on dvd and my medical paperwork by mail since I live more than 2 hours from their location. After I watch the video and fill out the paperwork, I have to wait for the surgeon to approve me for treatment at his facility. I really like this process, makes me believe that he's not just a "get 'em in and get it done" kind of Dr!!!

Starting my journey

So I've done the research and decided that the Lap Band is the way to go. I went to my PCM (we have Tricare Prime- south region) on Monday, 26 Sept 11 and discussed this with him. He was very supportive and informative. I told him the Drs that I found and he asked if I minded if he did some research as well before we decided who to send my referral to. Within 30 minutes his receptionist called me back with a list of Tricare approved providers. After some more research on the new providers, I have finally (3 days later) decided who I'd like to go with. I called the surgeon and now I'm just awaiting a call back from his coordinator to start the process to see if I qualify for his facility....wish me luck!!!
