I thought with tricare a nutritionist was required, or does it just vary from doc to doc?

What would you say is the hardest adjustment after you had the surgery?

Hey! One of the main things I was wondering about was if he had a program fee. I have seen alot of people talking about doctors starting those. I just need to know so I could save the money since insureance doesnt cover that. What type of insurance did u use? Is the wait with him to get the surgery really long?

So I just thought I would recommend a good stretch mark cream to guys. When I was pregnant with my daughter I got really bad stretch marks and I used this stuff called Cosmetyn and I worked really great as far as lighting my stretch marks. They arent invisible or anything but they are extremely faded. I have had my lapband but I figured it might work for some of you guys as well. Its retailed at about 89, but I found it on ebay for 25. If anyone is interested I could give you the name of the seller I ordered it from.:w00t:

Hi shante87, my experience with Dr. Murr has been great. I attended 6 months of the weight loss classes because I wasn't able to get my former pcp to sign off due to her personal concerns that she had about the band. I used Dr.Murr because he had do gastric bypass on my friend 9 yrs before I had the band and she loved him. I can defintely say the same he is very professional and very nice... He has a lot of dr's that work under him and my experience with them has been pleasant. My surgery was an outpatient and I was sent home the same day, I followed all the instructions in the booklet they gave me. Do you have any specific questions you want to ask me if so you can do so. I can tell you everybody body is different. I actually have my appt with Dr. Murr next week for another fill. I have not lost the weight that I desire but it's a process. It's some things I've could have did a lot better than I've did so I take responsiblity for that. Exercise, exercise..

I have seen a few people that said that trice covered the whole lapband surgery, but they had other fees that they had to pay? Does anyone know anything about these other fees and if so does tricare prime cover them.
