OMG, I was finally approved!!!



Recommended Posts

After being denied twrice, and the second letter making no sense at all, my mother talked to the people at the bariactric office. After reading through my letter of denial they called Tricare and found out my case was sent to an outside doctor who obviously had no clue what Tricare's requirements were. My surgeon actually talked to the head administrator of Tricare and finanlly got it approved. So now, seven months after it started, this is finally going to happen for me. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. I will soon be recieving my surgery date, and can not wait. :thumbdown:

I will be banded by Dr. Robert Cywes in Jacksonville, Florida.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
