Hi ladies. I need Help!!!

Im in Germany.. If any on you are, who did you see?

Dr. Weiner in frankfurt?

Im really nervous about what to tell the dr and the whole procedure. I know you have probably told your story 100 times but i would love to know you experience with Tricare.

Im going to the clinic on base on teh 15 of july. Im guessing he will give me a referral to the weight loss dr in town????

Can you primary doctor say no to even giving you a referral?

I was told i would have to get a psych eval, sounded like that would have to be done and cleared before i could get the referral. Did you have that problem?

What is critical that i tell the doctor at the clinic to get the referral? Did you save the "deep" stuff for the WL doctor or just tell the dr on base everthing?

How about your psych eval, what is it they want to know?? what do i say or not say?

what are examples of comorbids?

I have a Degenative Disc Disease that is worse every year. Ive had every concervative therapy done over the last few years. Im so close to a 2 level fusion but im terrified. Im only 34 and cant imagine it!

I also have Tachycardia (rapid heart rate out of the blue) it gets to like 210!!! So i have heart condition.

I also have the wonderful PCOS...

High Cholestrol.

Do you think that is enough? from what you have heard from others??

My Bmi is 34.7... but i have all those other issues and my weight is not helping them..

Sorry for the 1000 questions....Thanks for reading.:)

I wish I had an answer for you as far as Tricare in Europe. Whenever I had trouble while in Germany, I always talked to the Tricare rep at my local treatment facility. Your BMI is fairly low, initial referrals over here don't usually go through under 35 BMI. Keep at it, ask your Tricare rep, and if they can't answer, ask for a phone number to someone who can.

Where are you at in Germany? Does Landstuhl do the procedure, or is that too far of a drive?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
