Hi Ladies and Gentleman!

I am new to this forum and so happy that I found it!

I although try to get a Lap Band. Today I talked to my Family Doctor and she said that I would be a candidate for a Lap Band. Lets see if Tricare sees it the same way.

Tomorrow I am gonna call them and, I guess, take it from there.

I feel kinda lost right now because I have no clue what will happen next, what I have to do and I am scared at the same time to get rejected from my insurance. :thumbup:

So ja, I guess that's it for now :scared:

You all have a great evening!

Good luck. Whether tricare approves you easily or not depends on how overweight you are. Good luck! :thumbup:

hi and thank you :thumbup:

my BMI is over 39.

my doctor said I am good 100 pounds over normal weight. also I have arthritis in my knees (and some other joints). so I should fulfill Tricares requirements (hopefully).

Hi 2000 hope: I have a BMI of 40.1 and am 100 pounds over my ideal weight. i also have a comorbid of arthritis and i am applying through Tricare. Let's compare the responses we get. They should be darn close:)
