Which VA hospitals do the sleeve?

[tdskkenn 0]

Hi there. Does anyone know which Dept of Veterans Affairs hospitals do the sleeve? The system is divided by regions, and the VA does not put out a lot of info about the bariatric programs. I have Tricare Prime too, but they do not cover the sleeve. BUMMER... I am a service-disabled vet too and am able to use all services at VA hospitals too.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

There are several military facilities that do the sleeve. For sure BAMC in Ft Sam Houston San Antonio do the sleeve. I am waiting to be call with for my Pre Op appointment and surgery date. Where do you live right now? are you able to travel to San Antonio?

I know this is an old post, but I just looked up this information. I went to the VA website - www.va.gov - and typed bariatric surgery in the search field. It brought up tons of info, including links to every hospital that offers the surgery.
