I just got my approval! Took less than 48 hours once my surgeons office finally submitted it! Amazing! So excited!!

Tricare South-Prime, I see a civilian Dr because the nearest hospital of excellence is 3 hours away! I had my lapband out about 7weeks ago and I was required to submit proof of exercise (gym membership), documented weight from beginning of band to post band removal, psych eval and approved! No pre-op diet ordered! I consider that to be pretty darn lucky! I will schedule surgery 10/21

I am in Dallas and our small reserve base Fort Worth NAS JRB won't isn't able to do it. I have been referred to a doctor out in town. I figured that the process would be much quicker if I went the military route. Is it worth it to travel hours to another military facility? Is that an option?
