Another Tricare/MTF Question



Recommended Posts

I am hoping maybe someone might know the answer to my question. My husband is currently stationed in Connecticut and there is no place to have the sleeve done here. They only offer the lap band or bypass. We just got orders for North Carolina and there is no place to have the sleeve down there either.

What I was thinking about doing is going back to our home of record and staying with my parents for a few months. My parents live in Colorado and I just found out that there is an MTF that does the sleeve near their home. Would I be able to do that? My son is currently out there with my parents and he has received medical care while out there and no one has asked us about it or said anything. I get the statements from TriWest in the mail at our Connecticut address.

Thanks in advance for any advice/info :-D

Yep, you sure can. You just change your address with Tricare and go that route.

I considered it when I was seeking a revision since my folks are in Texas and my husband was deployed.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
