Tricare Prime: MTF Provider at Fort Jackson or Fort Benning

[cozy21 0]

Hi everyone! I am fairly new to app and appreciate all of your advice. I am currently covered under Tricare Prime and have been working with a civilian provider. Everything has been going very smooth. I originally decided to get the Lap Band, but after talking to several other patients, attending support groups and information seminars, and doing a lot of soul-searching, I've decided that the sleeve will be a better option for me. As many of you know, Tricare does not cover the sleeve surgery at civlian providers, but they will cover it at an MTF. I refuse to go to the surgeon at Winn (the MTF on the post we are on) because I had an AWFUL experience with him. He is the reason why my husband and I requested a civilian provider. I am half way between Fort Jackson and Fort Benning and am willing to go to either of these facilities to get the sleeve procedure. I was curious if anyone knows any MTF bariatric providers at the on-post hospitals on either of these bases? If so, please let me know. It is a four hour drive either way for me and don't want it to be a waste of a drive! Please help me!
