Ok so I finally.finished my 6 months of weigh in with my dr and the surgeon submitted everything I just received the letter from tricare saying that

V-band gastroplasty = not approved

Gastric bypass for obesity = not approved

Lap gastric bypass = not.approved

Laparoscopy biopsy = approved

What does that mean. My surgery date is Jan 14

And this really bummed me out specially because I have no clue what.that means

You need to contract tricare looks like they denied you :( I have tri care mine all had said approved

That's what I'm thinking but why would they only approve the last one?? I'm so sad!! I was so excited for surgery in 2 weeks

nik also call your insurance coordinator at your surgeons office, It could be something that they need more clarification from or something. Don't panic yet. (but i know you are) they will figure it out.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
