COCAMOKIS

Hi I have tricare prime South which honestly they are all the same when it comes to weight loss surgery. All I did was go to my primary care she referred me to the seminar because my bmi was 54 and I am only 4ft 11in, I went to the seminar and started completing everything that the surgeon required, I had to pay the program fee of $275.00 and my phyciatric evaluation which was $350.00 and that was it tricare covered everything else, I had no other illnesses just a bmi of 54 I told my primary care all the programs I had tried to loose weight she wrote them down and that was it. I was approved for surgery and I just got my band on the 3rd of April. I am not
100% sure that is how it will work for you but I don't see why not you have more alements then I did so your more of a candidate than I was. Good luck I hope this helped. My husband is stationed at Fort Stewart here in Georgia if that helps.

I am on day two of the Pre-Op diet and I tell you that first day is sooooooo hard but it was a little better today the trick is to not think about food, I know I know it's hard but I kept busy I am just worried about when I get home and I am not so busy. That is when it get's really hard but I am making it with a lot of support. Did anyone else have similar issues or what problems did you have if any?
