Ok, I am a dependent w/Tricare Standard and supplemental insurance. And I intend to have a Dr Heider in Mooresville, NC to do my surgery. I was at his office yesterday and have so far knocked out a few of the prereqs. Contact his office thru his website, regarding Tricare's issues with VSG.

ALL of his staff ROCKS!!..oh..and he's the best...and cute!!

you won't regret your decision Tricare folks..

I won't go into it as it's kinda complicated and Dr Heider can best discuss your needs/wants.

Keep us posted on your approval process. If they approve VSG for one patient, they(Tricare) has to approve it for all dependents, and is Tricare your primary insurance, or by supplemental do you mean a different type of policy or do you have insurance through your employer or an individual policy???

Just asking so I can pass this onto other spouses who want VSG and are hitting roadblocks in the approval process.

All the cloak and dagger stuff makes it sound too good to be true so the more details you share, the better it would be to truly help other dependents who are having issues with Tricare approvals.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
