Hi everyone - I'm headed to my "mandatory" LapBand seminar at UCSD tomorrow night and have my 1st consult with my (new) primary physician on Friday. I'm excited to get the surgery however fear that I may not be approved by Tricare Prime as I don't have any other risk factors. Keeping my fingers crossed I look forward to reading about everyone's experiences on this site! Location: San Diego, CA Insurance: Tricare Prime Facility: UCSD Medical Center, PCM Dr. Wood

mommy0f5 - I'm so excited for you! Congrats on your approval and how quickly it went thru! You are living my dream

I'm a military spouse in need of help. I have an appt. with my new primary care physician at UCSD on Friday. I also live very close to Naval Med Center San Diego where they perform the Lap Band surgery. I've heard that at the Naval Med Center there is less of a wait for surgery. I'm concerned about the wait time because we are being transferred in June. I don't know if I should keep my appt. & find out what I can on Friday or try to change my PCM to one at Balboa and go with them. Does anyone have any advice?
