Do you have any issues with it being there?

What an awesome success story, B-52! I was thinking about having the VSG done, but I'm not keen about removing my stomach (well, half of it). I'm prepared for what the Lap Band has to offer, but of course, I'm completely nervous about side effects and complications. I truly do appreciate your story! *:-)

Thank you so much for the info, calitrells! My husband is active duty and I have tricare standard. I will call the MTF tomorrow. *:-)

I was told by the Tricare rep that my civilian PCP could not refer me to a MTF... is this correct?

I PRAY PRAY PRAY that Tricare will cover VSG! I have Tricare Standard as well and wasn't sure how to go about getting myself into the bariatric program at our MTF... but I'll follow NaturalR's advice. thank you!
