I have Tricare Prime. Everyone says they're one of the easiest insurers to deal with. If you meet their requirements, approval is nearly automatic. For me, it was three business days between submission and approval. Pretty easy. Good luck!

I'm waiting to hear back from Triwest as well; paperwork was just submitted today. I've heard anything from 12 hours to 2 weeks to hear back from them; let's hope they're feeling motivated to knock out a bunch of approvals before the holidays! I'm really hoping they'll be as quick as most people on here have said. Fingers crossed for both of us! :)

Just got a call from Triwest; I was approved! Took less than 48 hours; I'm shocked and amazed after my last experience with them. So keep the faith; they do come through!:lol:

Same with me, I got approved within 48 hours. The doctors at this clinic won't even submit you if they don't think you'll get approved.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
