Have tricare west and it's been 5 days and I still have not been approved yet, I'm just ready to start a new life and they are not making it easy for me.

Have you called insurance ? I got mine less than 24 hours ...

[americas_suiteheart 53]

I was submitted at 3 pm and has approval by 9 am the next morning ! I had a surgery date in a week. just call ! Lol

[cbrks2012 23]

I have called but when my PCM put my referral in there was a computer glitch and tricare has not received it yet, it just sucks waiting all thus time and nothing has happened yet.

[americas_suiteheart 53]

Tricare said there was a glitch or your pcp said there was a glitch ?

[cbrks2012 23]

I'm just amazed at how fast you got everything done, I did over 6 months of supervised diet and exercise and have stayed around the same weight for 4 months, but I'm hoping to have my referral by the end of the week so I can have my surgery by mid August.

At medical last week the system went down after he put it in but he told me to call Monday if it wasn't showing on the tricare west site.

I started April 26 ... I only had 3 meetings with nutritionist and pcp ! I lost 1 pound the whole time ...

[cbrks2012 23]

I talked to tri care and it should be approved tomorrow at noon so fingers crossed!!!!

[americas_suiteheart 53]

Congrats !!!!!!!!

[cbrks2012 23]

Thank you!! How was the process of your surgery and what should I expect after having it done?

[americas_suiteheart 53]

Unmm I arrived there at 8 am. Had surgery at 1:52. I cried the whole waiting time lol I was emotional . Honestly , I had no pain as far as the surgery but the GAS IS HORRIBLE AND I STILL HAVE IT AND IM ALMOST 1 WEEK OUT. It's like gas bubbles in my chest , back , and tummy ! Walk walk walk !!! And bring gasx chewables !

[cbrks2012 23]

Ok so the only pain I should have is the gas pain I'm not looking forward to that, thank you for all the info you have giving me on this journey and good luck too you and your new beginnings!
