Scared???? Tricare approval...

Ok. I went to my PCM and she referred me to a weight loss specialist for the Lap Band. I went for my first appointment on Wednesday. I am so scared that I am not going to get approved.

These are my stats:

Height: 5' 3''

Weight: 226

BMI: 40.1

Medical conditions: Depression, PCOS & GERD.

I don't think that any of those are the medical conditions that they state that you must have.

My doctor said that Tricare has a thing where the patient has to be 100 pounds over weight. I am wondering if any of you have any advice or any dealing with Tricare.

I had to pay 200 dollars yesterday. I have a physc.. appoint on the 3 of sept. which is 65.00 and then I have a nutricianist appointment that is 100.00 and also alot of blood work and then they will send in the paperwork to Tricare to see if my package gets approved.

Does anyone have any advice for me..??

I am so ready for a life style change ...

There are plenty of Tricare threads on here. You can search and read our trials and tribulations dealing with them. If you qualify with no questions asked, it is fast and great. I got denied for being 6.5 lbs under with 2 comorbids. I am appealing.
