Good luck and Congrats to you on your new journey.

Okay I have tricare prime. My primary care doc referred me for lapband I have a bmi of 35.9 weight of 198 and I am 5.2. I have high blood pressure and prediabetic due to weight. I am not 100 lbs over weight but by surgeon's nurse said I don't qualify under tricare with their strict requirements. Get this I called tricare and they don't have any paperwork on me from this surgeon. In other words they don't even want to put the paperwork in to tricare wtf. I am at my end and I don't know what to do now.

Congrats on your approval. I know that you are excited. Good luck to you and please keep us posted on your new journey.

Congrats on your surgery. Keep up the good work it will all pay off in the long run.

Well I hope my process is that quick. I go back on Oct 13. I haven't heard anything from Tricare yet. I am hopeful thanks for all of your support.

Hi bamagirl73, I am like you, I have Tricare as well. I just started the process, I have had my first initial appointment with the surgeon and I am scheduled for a seminar on Oct 13. I have had lab work done through my PCP last month. A total of 19 tubes of blood, I sure hope that they don't need any more tests. I am waiting on my go ahead from Tricare I guess. I am hoping to have my surgery date soon. Please keep me updated. Good luck

Hi Chrissy, Welcome to the forum.

Hey Mustangkitten, I am new here as well. I had my first appt with the surgeon my next one is Oct 14. Like you I hope this procedure goes by quickly. I don't know what to feel right now but I guess as the process goes forward emotions will change many times. I don't have support here either. So drop me a line sometime.
