How long from begining till surgery

[Taradawn15 148]

I have military insurance (tricare) an I just found out last week that I could even have the surgery and my first appointment is August 7th

I had my sleev done through tri care at Ft Lewis. It took me about 3 months to meet all the requirements and schedule my appt. that being said ft Lewis serves a about of military and the bariatric program actually had a waiting list. Once I got through the waiting list part it took me about 6 weeks to get in all required apps and do a 4 week food journal that I was required to do before hand.

That's not such a bad wait time I'm not sure if there is a wait list here or not
