Tri-care is diffrent region to region. I have tri-care prime in Italy and from the time my doctor put in the referal to the time of surgery was a little less than a month. I did not have to weigh in, do the psycological eval or see a nutrionist for 6 month. I dont know why it differs from region to region but it does. I was right on the cusp for bmi requirements but had cormoditys so my doctor had to send in a letter of medically nessissity. I suggest asking your doctor about this because maybe it might speed up the process

I just had my surgery on may 23 2012. I started at 217 lbs and am at 180. A little over 35lbs in 9 and a half weeks. I still have forty five to fifty lbs till my goal but am hopefull. I am five foot four and would like to be 130-135 lbs. My first fill was on August 1st and just got 5cc put in and it has jump started my weight loss again. I dont think Im in the green zone yet but am finally feeling restriction. I know if I excersized regularly and made heathier choices it probally would come off quicker but as far as my will power it kinda sucks for the most part I eat healthier but if I want to eat a slice of pizza I want to be able too. I havent excersized a whole lot because of my athma and my joints still hurt. I belive its an excellent tool for lower bmiers. Thus far besides not really drinking soda any more and picking things with reduced fat or fat free lables honestly I havent had to change much. Im sure once I get closer to goal it will be tougher but thats okay its a good tool though.

oh my, I will deffinatly stretch. I hope you have a very speedy recovery. I must admit Im not quiet at the mind set that I enjoy excersizing it's still more like a chore and often times I just try to hurry and get it over with so I skip that essential element so thank you for sharing with me a huge reminder of why its so important.

Okay so I had the lap-band on the 5/23/12, so a little over two week. I had severly bad athma I was on advair 500/50 plus another steroid inhaler plus nasonex plus rescue inhaler plus my nebulizer. I also had really bad sleep apnia. since surgery I have not used any of my athma medication. I've gone from 217 to 197 in two weeks. When I first started using the eliptical I could only use it for 5 mins and the other day I was on for a whole hour. I love this tool and it has not been easy but am following doctors orders. I still have along way to go but for the first time their light at the other end of the tunnel. I no longer live on my nebulizer and am so excited for this journey.

Just remember any weight loss is good and its not who gets to the finish line first that counts its getting their. Somthing I'm constantly trying to remind my self. I talked to my doctor and he said what Im feeling is just head hunger but man is it frustrating. Hope you get to the green zone real soon

Thank you. Your information was very helpful. I will talk to my doctor about increasing my calories. It's not so much that I'm in a rush to be filled before I'm healed it's just I dont understand why my doctor doesnt want to fill once Im healed if Im loosing weight but I think I understand now. So their are people who never need fills? I guess I'm just so affraid to fail. Thank you so much any help is greatly appreciated and I will deffinatly talk to my doctor about incresing my calorie intake a little.

congrats
