Hi All...

Anybody have TriCare Prime Remote? My surgeons office submitted everything for authorization for the LapBand! I checked the TriCare website and it's been pending for 2 days now. Am I being impatient? LOL Getting anxious now~:confused2:

Your's went really fast compared to mine. I was banded Oct. 1st but I started trying to get approved in March. My doctor's office didn't know how to communicate with Tricare evidently! lol Congrats on the banding!

Hi - I have Triwest and am Tricare Prime Remote and I was approved in 2 days. So I really think it is all about the little things - how your doctors office filed the paperwork, who it was filed with, the office it got sent to, the planets in alignment!

I was surprised at how quickly it got approved - and I saw it on the website first. Then I got a call from a lady from Tricare who congratulated me and asked if I had any questions, etc. So I have had a really good experience with Tricare. Good Luck and keep us updated!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
