All the preops are done! The paperwork goes off to my insurance (Tricare) in the next few days. I have everyone's blessing... even my husband's- which took time to get.

Everyone here has been an important source of support for me. Wish me luck.

Now I wait.....:grouphug:

Hi! I got my Tricare approval very quickly, hope you do too. I know how nerve wracking it is.

Good luck!

I have Tricare also and my paperwork got sent today. I am so excited. I am already checking the website to see if I am approved. hahaha My approval to see the surgeon got approved in 1 day. Then it didn't work out with that surgeon so I asked Tricare to switch me. So that approval also only took me 1 day. So I am hoping for the 1 day approvals to keep up. LOL Jennifer

i have never been on the tricare website to check on my own personal claims. will i be able to register and access that info right away or is it a longer process?

:grouphug: All of this was really nice to know!! I just talked to my primary care physican today about referring me to a doctor to discuss the lapband I have been researching for about 4 months and debating). And he told me he just knew TRICARE would approve me to have this done!!! Its nice to see they do actually approve people quickly.

signing up for the website doesn't take long. You get access with in seconds of signing up. I didn't have to wait. I found I was approved to see the surgeon before they even got the approval. Jennifer
