Good luck to you - I am only on day 1 and I feel like I'm going to die of starvation. I know I'm not going to, but this is so incredibly hard. Didn't think it would be this hard. Does it get easier?

You look amazing! I'm getting banded on September 10th, can't wait!

Great news! I was approved by Tricare South!!! They accepted the two months of weigh-ins from my doctor's office. My surgery is scheduled for September 10th. I'm on cloud nine!

Hi everyone, Had my paperwork submitted to Tricare South (Humana Military) on Monday. They came back today requesting additional documentation of failed weight loss attempts. The surgeons office said she has never seen this before from Tricare. Tricare is requesting 2-3 consecutive months of doctor supervised weigh-ins. Luckily I went to the doctor on July 11th, so I can count that as my first month and I made an appointment for August 10th, so I can use that as my second month. In both visits we will have discussed my weight loss attempts and that we are proceeding towards weight loss surgery. I will take the doctor's notes from both office visits and have them resubmitted to Tricare. Hopefully that will be all they need to approve the surgery. Everything else has been done. Anyone else have this request from Tricare? I am just glad they didn't come back saying I needed to do 6 months of supervised dieting.
