Hello,
On went to the seminar for the bariatric surgery at Madigan Hospital in Washington November 4, 2010. I was told I would be on a wait list until some time in February 2011. I do not mind going through the pathway I believe the pathway is essential. But what I am ticked off about is that I have to wait until February to start. I was told that my surgery was referred out and Madigan stepped in and pulled it back knowing that they have a 4-5 month waiting list. Now the place that I was referred to has no wait list for their requirements for the surgery they are basically like going through the pathway at Madigan as a matter of fact a little stricter. I will start the process right away if referred out. I found out Thursday about this wait list thing and have been leaving messages with referral and anyone that would talk to me. Referral is a message phone. Does anyone know what my chances are of having my surgery referred back out? I am Tricare Prime and my husband is retired Navy Bremerton Washington. Does Bremerton Naval Base have a weight loss surgery program?
