Tricare Prime, NMCP (Portsmouth) questions

Hey guys,

I am finally starting the road to a new me however, I have a few questions. I have my initial orientation at NMCP on the 22nd of August, what happens from there? Two years ago, my BMI was not high enough (35) and I was denied, today as we speak my BMI is at 40.2. I am so paranoid because I don't want to be turned down again if I lose a few pounds before my initial orientation. How long is the waiting list at NMCP? What option do I have in terms of bariatric surgery? If my BMI is 39, will I still be turned down for surgery? As you all can see, I have so much questions that its driving me up the wall. If anyone can shed light on how the bariatric process work at NMCP, please fill me in.

Thanks
