Hey I also live in Florence and Dr Balder will be doing my Lapband AUG 28th YEAAAAAAAA

Where are you in WV? my family is from Greenville,WV, and from Oakhill,WV. I will be in WV the first week of Aug then will have my surgery Aug 28.

my dr said that tricare has you stay overnight but my dr is in conway,sc and he said I could stay overnight in hospital or stay overnight in the hotel near his office so he could see me the next morning so no charge to me my husband and I will stay in a hotel.

where do you go online to see if you are approved from TRICARE? I am also retired TRICARE PRIME. I went to seminar in April, Psyh in May,nutri in June, Dr in June and had to have alot of blood work also stress test a couple of weeks ago and saw the Dr again today and I am scheduled for surgery AUG. 28 yessssssss!

productive burp.:frown:

Unless I misunderstood but I read it on here somewhere but I will check on it further and let you know, I think it should be covered but that is just me:thumbup:

Unless I misunderstood but I read it somewhere on here and just got real excited:lol:. I will check further and let you know.

I am a dependent of a retiree and I have TRI PRIME, I was diagnosed w/breast cancer in 2007. My chemo was close to $80,000 and TRI PRIME paid all I only pd $12.00 co-pay, on my radiation I pd close to $500. The surgeon that is doing my Band requirs all of his patients to pay $380. for something I forgot what. I am just getting really excited waiting on my surgery date.

I am also TRI PRIME. I am a dependent, when I found out that Tri paid for LAPBAND I started the process got my referral, went to seminar in April, went to phyctrist, talked to nutristnist, and talked to the surgeon, did my blood work and stress test, now I am waiting for the corodinator to call and schudule my surgery, then I will have to do a 5day diet of liquids. Also my surgeon requires every patient to pay $380. for something I forgot for what but it is in my paper work. I am happy to know that they pay for tummy tucks.:tongue_smilie:. PLEASE EXCUSE MY SPELLING:blushing:

Well I can most of the time figure how to do something on the puter, but that ticker counter stumped me, even after Phyllis told me how to do it. I got my daughter to put it on for me and I watched her and of course I kept missing a step duhhhh :tongue_smilie: I kept missing the "edit sig. step" but all is well now.:tt1:

you are probably right.:smile2:

I have not had the surgery yet but will have to go on liquids for 5 days, I was told that it shrinks your liver so it does not get accidently cut with the instruments.

test to see if my ticker works It works! It works! Thank heaven my daughter is not only beautiful but a genius (she's typing this too....)

i figure it out either

ok I have the ticker tracker, now i have another dumb question how do i put it on my page??????????

Thank you. I will give it a try

Where does everyone get those cute ticker trackers?
