I am Tricare Prime as well (south region) and was approved right away back in August...mine is on the 15th...the liquid diet sucks but something that has to get done, dont over do the broth like i did on day one cause by the end of the night all 3 cans threw the day came right back up...good luck :)

Learn to really start listening to your body. Learn the difference between thirsty and actual hunger. They feel quite the same. I read an article that said about 2/3 of Americans cant distinguish between the two. Just take this whole thing one step at a time. You will learn things each day. It never ends :) Congrats on your approval. Tricare is really good at approving fast!

Yay for all of us! And yay for Tricare!! I've never loved Tricare so much. I got approved today in less than 12 hours!! I've never felt like they were a quality insurance, but it's free! I guess that's what we deserve for our service, whether spouse, active duty, retired or reserve. I'm glad everyone's approved.

Tricare came through for me; got my call today and was approved in less than 48 hours. I've never seen them this helpful before...

I am Tricare Standard- North region. I got approved too , fairly quick turn around , like a 5 days or so. If I've read everything correctly, I will only incur a $25 co-pay. Lawd knows I hope that's true. Either way, I am so happy that Tricare agree's that I NEED this surgery. January 4th is MY day.

Hallelujah !!!!

Congrats! Tricare said they would cover everything 100%!! I have it in writing, but even a $25 co-pay is awesome!

I am so excited because I am Tricare Standard North and my last appointment was today (ahhhh lovely psych)! I am hoping for a quick turnaround. It would be really nice to get an "APPPROVED" for Christmas!

I am so excited, I completed my last pre-op class today . H& P is next week, did my labs today too. I am not looking forward to Clear liquids, but I know that is a sign of a GREAT change to come. I start my Clear Liquids on 12/28 :o

Thank you Lord for my husbands service in the military . Without Tricare , I'd still be waiting for approval and my surgery (with other private insurance).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
