Trying to be patient

[ShrinkyDinkyDoo 2]

Hi TriCare family,

I am Tricare south. I am seeing a non-military doctor, but my approval was super fast (48 hrs). Tomorrow is my surgery!!! HOORAY. I was gonna tell you, that if you go to the tricare website and call the number provided they have an automated check your referal system, and if you have a phone with the internet and texting, they can text it to you, and then you wont have to call back, every time you have a referal sent in, you can check as many times as you like without feeling like you are bugging the person on the phone I actually knew I was approved before my surgeons office did. Good luck to all who are waiting for apporval, or to you already approved! Its gonna ROCK!!

It looks like patience paid off My surgery is set for May 10th! I won't be an April bandster, but I'm SO happy to have a surgery date. I am definitely starting to get nervous, but I think this is the best option for me

Annie - Congrats! I'll be a May bandster too. My surgery is set for the 19th. I just found out today. We were in Italy on vacay and I couldn't call to find out. I'm nervous too but so ready. You'll have to give me the low down on your pre/post-op experience. All advice is welcome. Congrats again.
