Tricare South Anyone??



Recommended Posts

I got denied a year ago for lack of information. I had changed drs an she is pretty positive I'm going to get it this time. I have a bmi of 39. She's basically putting in every health issue that's wrong with me. Even headaches..lol. Has anyone had any difficulties with tricare south or maybe some advice. I'm waiting for a call from the surgeon for the first appointment were he puts it into the insurance. I'm super super nervous an can't stop thinking about it.

Glad you changed doctors not sure the previous one knew what kind of surgery he was going to preform. Sorry, I could not resist. If your physician lists all your comorbidities (other health problems) sorry nurse her. Than your insurance should approve. Mine required hx of failure at diets and a letter from my primary care doctor. I have United Health Care.

Yea that's why I changed drs..lol. my primary care dr seems very confident that I'm going to get approved. I just don't want to get my hopes all up for it to be shot down again.

      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.
