Hey everyone!!! So TriCare has sent me an approval letter. I've already been through the seminar so hopefully it won't be much longer before my surgery. I meet with the surgeon on Thursday and am soooooo excited = )

OK, we have TriCare Prime. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two though. I'll keep ya posted when i hear back from them ; )

Hmmm.....I didn't know that. Do you mind if I ask what insurance you have? I'll have to check and see if Riverside excepts my type of insurance. The less out of pocket we have, the better = )

Not sure who my surgeon is yet. It will be one of the two docs that are affiliated with the Baptist Hospital Bariatric department. I have my first seminar this Tuesday. I am just hoping that my insurance will approve the surgery = )

I live at Shaw AFB. I used to live up in Lexington.

Is anyone of y'alls insurance covering your lift and/or implants??? I know my insurance company will cover certain reconstructive/plastic surgeries, it just depends on the circumstances.

Hi everyone! I am heading to my seminar this Tuesday = ) I am looking for some fellow lapbanders in the SC area. This is an exciting and scary experience, so it would be great to have someone to have to talk to when I have questions. Looking forward to hearing from y'all!!!!

OK, so I am new the site and have a few questions. I have TriCare Prime South and have been reading some different info about what they require in order to approve the surgery. Does it go according to BMI, Weight, Health Issues????? I am starting to get discouraged Any info y'all could provide would be a great help!!!!
