Hi everyone! I am new to this board and I know that this post is really old but I'd love to hang out with fellow Tucsonians! I am seeing Dr. Jeff Monash who is in the office with Dr. Schwartz. I am not banded yet but I am totally on my way! Can't wait!! Oh and I am a scrapper too!! Lookin forward to chattin with everyone! :redface:

Hi everyone! I just stumbled on this and glad that I found everyone here! I am not banded yet but I just saw my surgeon for my initial consult today. He said that everything should go through smoothly!! I'm excited and nervous too, just because I didn't expect everything to happen so quickly! But I'm happy it is! My hubby is deployed right now so when he gets back hopefully I'll be lookin much much better!!! I'm with you all on the disgust about all this FLDS crap. I hate that people associate us, it irks me to no end! Luu I am not going to be telling a whole lot of people either. I have told a few people and they have tried to convince me otherwise, but my bishop is totally on board with me. Plus DH is on board too so thats all that matters for me. Plus telling them that you 've started exercising and watching what you are eating is totally true! I don't think it's necessary to explain that you had a procedure done to help with it! I look forward to chatting with everyone! Jenn :redface:

I just went today for my sugery consultation. Now I have to have my psych eval and then the surgeon will submit everything to Tricare for approval. I am really nervous that they aren't going to approve me! I have my psych eval on the 22nd of April and the doc said that I should be done with surgery and everything by this time next month!!! I'm excited but nervous too!! Anyone have any experience not getting approved for the surgery??

HOORAY!!! CONGRATS!!!!! :redface:

well i went to see my PCP and he sent in the referall quickly...thanks to Minipinmoms great Tricare sheet! But the next day Tricare notified him that they needed more clinical info. So I had to go have xrays done and had to have a glucose test done. I don't understand what this means. I am 265 and 5'3, so I fall in under the 200% over my ideal weight so I am totally lost why they are asking for all this clinical information. Maybe I should just call Tricare tomorrow?? Any suggestions? Thanks!
