Hey, I am TriCare also. Can you give me any info on how long it took them to approve. I went to a seminar on Sat. and I want to do this, but not looking forward to the hassles. I am 240 5'2" BMI 44 with high blood pressure

I went to a seminar yesterday and I really want to do this!!! I am in VA and would be using a Dr. Stelmack. He is board certified and a member of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery. I feel good about his presentation but I wonder if I will pass muster when all the test start. I had brest cancer in 2002. I had a masectomy, chemo, radiation, and reconstruction. My insurance is military and I did read that they cover the surgery but tomorrow will be the real test when I try to get confirmation. I am expecting a lot from you guys because I know I'll need help and encourgement. The Avon Breast Boards were my rock, so get ready me.:biggrin:
