its hard because of the all the pre op requirements from the surgeon (xrays, blood work, ekgs, possible sleep tests, upper gi's etc) but all dr's are different so you may or may not do what i did. tricare was super easy to work with and i have no complaints w/them at all. the only suggestion i have is to stay on top of it with tricare and the dr. have all the t's crossed and the i's dotted....

      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.
