What are my chances?

[Ezma 2]

I'm 6 months post op and no pb, slime or puking here. I have had a couple of moments when I thought I might but got thru it without incidence. I asked my doctor why they didn't warn me about pb and slime and they said because they have rarely had it happen. It might be because I'm not too tight. I do know it's fairly common though.

Hi Carly,

I am just beginning the process. My primary insurance is with United Health Care with Tricare Standard as the secondary. I've been to an informational meeting, asked for a referral from my PCP, and scheduled an initial appointment with a local surgeon. I guess my question is did you have any problems with Tricare? Leona

I had no problems with tricare so far, (thank goodness)! I didn't think I was going to get approved because of the awful experiences I had with the doc that gave the referral and my PCM(long story). My surgeon's nurse even said she couldn't say if I would get approved cause I have only 1 currently treated co-morb. But it was only 2 days after they sent in the paperwork that I got a call saying I was approved.

The only thing left for me to do with tricare is have my surgeon's office send in paperwork for authorization for my fills after surgery. The good thing is my surgeon doesn't charge for fills for 90 days after surgery. I have prime so I don't know if it's different with standard. Good luck, hope this helps!:biggrin:
