I have Tricare and they denied it the first time. Then Dr. Had to submit more info then they approved it. It took about 2-3 weeks to get ins to approve. Good luck????

From what my Dr said Tricare is good about approving this surgery. I was close to the cut off of the bmi and I didn't have any other problems. You should have no problem getting yours approved.

That's the same with me until I get everything done on my checklist I can't see my surgeon. Or get my final approval for the surgery, but my fingers are crossed and I hope you get approved soon :)

I have west I think. I live in California so I'm not sure. The Dr didn't submit it to Tricare until I saw the dietician and the psych. Then it was submitted. Is that what you have to do before seeing him again?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
