TriCare Prime Remote



Recommended Posts

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!!

      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.

      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.
