This is me to a T right now. I go back to my surgeons on Monday.

Will do. Will tricare even give you that choice to go to Hopkins with WR being near by? That I'm not sure of. I think I qualify to go wherever they accept tricare by distance. Walter reed is 75miles away. I think over 60 you have a choice but don't quote me on that. They are both about the same distance from me. I think I'd prefer Walter Reed because if I'm not mistaken I will have less out of pocket expenses and less problems with a military treatment facility.

Thanks Patti. Good luck on your RNY. Let me know how it goes. Give me the scoop on how the docs and nurses treat you. If Tricare is paying for it I'm kind of up in the air whether to go to walter reed or johns hopkins.

For you ladies currently going through the process how tough is it? I see tricare requirements changed and wondered how that impacted treatment at a mtf. Did you have to have 6 months of failed dieting documented before you got your surgery authorization? What kind of hoops have you had to jump through? I see my pcm on Tues to try and get my referral to go to walter reed and just trying to find as much current info as I can. I'm excited.
