My surgeon told me to get the pysch eval and told me what docs she would accept it from, I called tricare told them and they gave me the referral. I had my EKG, Blood work, Chest Xray all done by my PCM's office.

I'm 40 days post-op now and down 42 pounds. Good luck with your surgery and please feel free to email me any questions.

My doctor hasn't mentioned the EKG or Xrays yet...but I haven't had my pre-op meeting yet either.

WOW 42 pounds in 40 days!! That's awesome...Now I like 42 lbs in 40 days better than I like 40 days of rain...Noah would have been so jealous!!:embaressed_smile:

Hi I was banded on June 16th this year. And I was not banded at a center of excellence. In Sacramento, the doctors (that except Tricare) that perform the lap band are not attached to a center of excellence. So mine was done with a doc that accepts Tricare. I didn't have any difficulties. But as far as I know there is not a Center of Excellence close by where their doctors accept Tricare.

Things are going good, I get my first fill on Aug. 8th. Good Lcuk with your journey and keep us updated. Leah:thumbup:
