I had gastric sleeve done on 8/11 I have tricare prime (north) and it wasn't that difficult. Went to my pcm he did the referral that was on May and I got sleeve August so it wasn't that long of a process.

Exquum3, did you pay out of pocket for the NUT appointment? Was your surgery off base? I am Tricare Prime South and everything is off base here. Thanks!

only took 2 days for Tricare to approve my package. I had surgery 2 weeks later! Good luck!

I work for Tricare approving the referrals, and it's a relatively fast process for members once all the paperwork is submitted and our medical team reviews it, it takes about 2days to approve.. goodluck!

_{That's awesome news!!! Thank you for sharing this info with me. I'm getting so close.}

Does anyone have tricare standard? Right now things seem to be going ok but I go off base for everything and have to find doctors through their provider directory.

Thank you, laGata15. I am completing my requirements this month in hopes of an early Nov surgery date. I work two full time jobs so it's challenging arranging to take off. You've eased my mind considerably!
