Hey -
I just spent an hour reading through all the tricare posts so i'm hoping some one can answer this.
Does tricare make you see a nutritionist for 6 months?
are there any requirements that i should know about?
· Is 100 pounds over ideal weight for height and bone structure and has one of these associated conditions: diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cholecystitis, narcolepsy, Pickwickian syndrome, hypothalamic disorders or severe arthritis of the weight-bearing joints
· Is 200 percent or more over ideal weight for height and bone structure
· Has had intestinal bypass or other surgery for obesity and because of complications, requires another surgery (takedown)
I am 5'3 221 bmi of 39, fertility issue, joint pain, several failed attempt at weight loss. A friend of mine is getting LAP-BAND® and she told me its a long battle that she has been dealing with it for a year, she then said you have to have 6 months of documented weith loss / nutritionist so i'm just trying to see if anyone else has had to deal with that?
