Hello all. Has anybody been approved for gastric bypass and decided to go with the lapband. If so what was the process as far as getting approved again through your insurance. I have Tricare Prime. Any and all advice will be appreciated. Thanks so much!!!

Hi, I have TriCare and it only took a wk for approval. I'm currently waiting on a surgery date. Good luck...wishing you well.

Hello everyone! I'm having the LapBand done, don"t have a date yet. All my preops are done, just waiting to see my surgeon one last time to get the op date. In the beginning I was really excited, I knew this was for me. Lately, I've been hearing alot of stories on how you usually regain the weight within two years or some don't lose weight at all! These stories have been really discouraging and I'm starting to have doubts. Please help, I really need some support.:confused2: Thanks so much.

Thank you so much. I keep telling myself I did the research and it's for me. I want the weight gone so bad that I know I will have to make it work. Good luck to you. I have TriCare and things have gone by so quickly.
