ticare approval

[mom2twins 0]

I got my tricare approval today!! I have a surgery date of 11 August. That is so just around the corner. I had heard that it went fast with tricare after they gave the go ahead, and they were right. I only have 1 day of pre-op diet (liquid). The lady at the surgeons office said there was a group of us that came in at the same time, so hopefully I will b meeting someone locally soon to talk to about all the lapband stuff. Well better run just wanted to chime in and say I'm one stap closer. :biggrin2:

Air Force Wife here. We are stationed at MacDill AFB here in Tampa, Florida.

I can't believe you only have liquid diet for one day. Mine was two weeks...did they talk to you about the dangers of a "fatty liver?"

Congrats on your approval, isn't it exciting?

You guys are so lucky! I had two weeks of liquids before surgery also......but I did lose 12 lbs and got a good headstart, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations on getting your surgery date. It will be here before you know it.

I had a 10 day pre-op diet, but it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Good luck!

I've got 2 weeks for pre-op diet. Boo. :ohmy: When we did LA Weight Loss they had a liquid diet you had to do for a few days and I was a witch, so I can only imagine how I'll be for this after 2 weeks. *lmao*
