I had to appeal my Tricare denial SIX times. Finally I found out a specific place to send it

Yes I have Tricare. My email is bmxmomla@aol.com I'll help you

Oh my Gosh!! What a Valentines present!! As many of you know I have been trying since mid July to get an approval for lap band. I have been denied many times. Never in my life have I been accused of not being fat enough! Lonely, sad and depressed, I turned to this site and made the announcement that I was giving up. My messenger started blowing up with support that I must keep fighting for what I believed. I did. After a million of letters, calls and pleas I got the official, unofficial (verbal) approval today !!! I am so darn excited!! I cant wait to start my journey. To each and every one of you I say THANK YOU !!! especially to Carolina girl, you have been so encouraging to me. I will certainly keep all of you posted. My surgeons office said that as soon as I get my hard copy approval we can start the process. I am excited and scared all at the same time. Hugs to all my "lap friends"

im doing well. Carolina girl coached me in the process, I followed her advise and I was approved!! Ive never been told that I wasn't fat enough for something. I was on the brink of self pay too, but I stod up for what I believed and the surgery cost me $25. I have my appeal letter saved on my work computer, when I return Monday and you want a copy of it Ill email it to you.

I was banded 4/29 I was miserable with the gas too! I walked went for a ride in the car but what did it for me was mylicon chewable gas relief, I laid on my back with feet elevated and put the heating pad on my stomach gas moved and I feel 100% better

I was denied SIX times and was banded Monday.
