Help with Tricare East

[Fat 50 & Fed Up 0]

I am hoping to be able to get Gastric Sleeve and have Tricare East. It is a new region so I don't know if anyone has had weight loss surgery since Tricare's transition. Also I have prime and the doctor I have been assigned to as my PCM is more concerned about sending me for a sleep study, which he seems to think will solve my weight problems. My previous physician was ready to send me to a weight loss surgery center when I had to change doctors due to getting married, moving 3 hours north of her and now having Tricare only. Any help?? By the way, my BMI is 40.

Where are you located?? I’m in Jacksonville and just scheduled my first appointment with the general surgeon. Took about 2 appointments with my pcm for her to finally give me the referral.
