Hello, sorry to hear that you have to do a 6-month plan. I also have tricare and was worried about the 6-month diet plan. But at orientation they told me that tricare usually does not require it. I totally understand also about being at the 100 pound limit, cause if i loose any weight too i will not quilify. I would just explain to your pcp that you have tried everything and now want to try surgery. Good Luck
