I got approved....I think!!!!



Recommended Posts

My paperwork was submitted yesterday to Tricare. Today I checked the website and it has approved everything but the surgery. It says the surgery is pending review, but they approved the fills and a port revision incase I need that. So should I just assume I am approved? I am so excited Hopefully I will get banded this month. woohoo:thumbup:

when you get a chance, could you send me the link for the tricare website? i must be going to the wrong one because i cannot find where to register and check on a claim or preapproval/preauthorization. my email is katwmn63@yahoo.com

i wish you the very best success...i hope i can see an "approved" on the website for me too:)

Hello again:)

I registerd with Tricare North, and ugggh, I have to wait for a security code to come in the mail before I can access "my-Tricare". I leave for a 2 week florida trip in a few days (won't get my mail) so I guess I'll have to hope my surgeon's office calls me on my cell phone or notifies me by e-mail. What a distraction this could potentialy be on my vacation:[ I'll keep my fingers crossed though and try to remain optimistic. Maybe I'll get good news and be in the perfect place to celebrate!

take care, congrats to you:) and thanks!!!!

I am sorry about that. I didn't have any security code. I get so nervous about having to wait if I didn't do the online thing I would probably call Tricare everyday. LOL Jennifer

Crap!!! I just called Tricare and asked why my fills were approved but the surgery says pending review. She lady said it is because a medical professional needs to review my stuff. She said don't assume I am approved. ARGGG I was so happy to see the fills were approved but now I have to sit and wait.... ARG:cursing:

Well Triwests website still says pending review but I decided to call Tricare. Well today i was APPROVED!!:) she said that it was approved today so they haven't put it up yet. After I got off the phone with her I started screaming, then realised my windows were open. LOL But I just started crying, almost uncontrolably. My 4 year old says "Why you crying momma" I said "Cause I am happy" then he said "OH, you are crying tears of joy?" I said yes and just had to laugh at him. I thank everyone who showed support while I was awaiting approval and I will continue to show my support for everyone else waiting for their approval. I probably won't have a date till tomorrow. But I will keep everyone posted.....Jennifer

      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.
