New to LBT, playing the waiting game...



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I am new here. Just found this site, and already it had been helpful. I have a question if anyone out there has an answer please share!

I am currently waiting approval from TriCare Prime Remote. Is there anyone one out there with this ins. I would love to hear how your approval process went. I was told I did not need a referral, and so far so good. I have completed all the testing including psych and nutrition evals, and now I am just waiting. I was told it could take 3 months. I am 2 months into it and cannot wait until I hear news.

Pretty much any information you have on tricare would be great!

Thanks!

Also, I have previously under gone several treatments for infertility caused by PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) and have been told be several fertilitay doctors that weight loss would greatly raise my chances. I also found out thru my testing that I do have sleep apnea. Does anyone have any experiance with these conditions speeding up, or slowing down the process? Also, any chance of denial?

      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.
