Tricare and Revision to Sleeve



Recommended Posts

TRICARE AND REVISION OR BYPASS SURGERY

I'm quite certain this topic in reference to Tricare has been discussed a thousand times but I just can't find the answers I need. When I lived on post in Washington State on Ft. Lewis, I was able to get the Sleeve done. My surgeon assured me if this surgery did not work that in a couple or so years I could get the Gastric Bypass or I may need a revision some day. TRICARE or the surgeons here in Columbus, GA disagree and will not do either because my BMI is NOT at 40 plus. I assume I would have to gain more weight to do so. I'm at a 33 BMI now and no doctors can figure out why I'm gaining any weight at all. I eat healthy and I exercise every single day and I have since the surgery. I just stopped losing one day and it's been a steady incline since the middle of 2014 or later even. There's no explanation and breaking my elbows to keep me from putting a fork in my mouth might hurt and I would starve to death from malnutrition because I eat like a bird now. I need some help here because I have nothing. The surgeons are clueless and say no and my doc is clueless in saying the surgeons say no I'm NOT FAT ENOUGH. I'm fat and I hate myself. HELP!! Suggestions!!!!
