I don't want you to get hurt the way I am now. I got the referral jumped through all the hoops and tricare turned me down. I have sleep apnea which they no longer consider a co morbidity. This seems to have changed from May 27th when my PCM went on the internet and wrote the referral and June 3rd when I saw the surgeon. I am not at 100 pounds YET but the sleep apnea not being considered a co morbidity got my referral denied. So please make sure your doctor has checked and double checked. I do not think hypertension is listed anymore either.
