I have tricare and I do meet the requirements for the procedure my only problem is I can't get my doctor to refer me, he is in the mindset that surgery isn't an option and that diet and exercise will fix everything, even after being on several diet and nutrition programs and countless gyms. I don't know if I should ask for a new PCM who understands where I am coming from or what. I am so lost as to what to do now.

what website do i use to check to see if the referral has gone through? I make my appointments on tricareonline. but i do not see that option anywhere. Thanks for all of the help. Oh and my doctor filled out the consult form on the computer in front of me and said it was processed and then she gave me a copy of it with her signature and things on it. so not really sure which of the 3 ways it was :-)

So I went to see a third doctor today who I finally got to give me a referral for consultation with the surgeon. Now she said it would take 3 weeks before tricare got back to me regarding the referral and who I could go see. Is this normal and what exactly am I waiting for a letter? Or do I contact someone else now to make the appointment?

I do not believe that I am borderline, I am 5'6 312lbs with a bmi of 50.2 . I also have high blood pressure, edema and arthritis in my back and knees.

I went and saw a different doctor and she would only go off what the other doctor suggested. So now I am stuck again, not sure where to go from here.

He is at the MTF, I guess I will try and change PCM's only thing with that is it seems to take almost 2 months lately to get an appointment if your PCM is busy and they will only let me see another one for prescription refills.
