I just joined this group today and I just scheduled my first appointment today with Tricare, I meet the BMI requirement however, I do not have any known health issues. Is the surgery still a possibility for me? My BMI is between 44 and 46. I am scared of being told no. 10 years ago, I was denied gastric bypass, at almost 300 lbs; I am about 260 now; I am hoping with the sleeve I wil be approved. Do you all have any suggestions or time frames for the Tricare process (Tricare Prime South)

I am just so nervous, I feel like I need to know every step for every day. My first appointment is in 3 days, probably why I am so anxious.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
