Correction ya'll I have only TWO kids

Are you guys have in just a lap band or the lap band and plication

Also I am blessed and still have five children they say are truly my biggest cheerleader. My oldest son has diabetes and that's a very hard monster to control. My boys were so happy for me that they both came and took me to lunch today with absolutely meant the world to me. I am very very ready to start my journey my Journey. I journey that is fully supported by my family. I feel like one lucky lady

Good Night ya'll. Since August 6 every night as I tried to sleep ideas about appeals would race my head. Not tonight. Bye Bye Food Monsters.

Hang in there!! Don't give up or question your decision. If it helps, in 1991 I had a tummy tuck, after losing a lot of weight on Phen fen....the rest is history and I am working towards a lap band. Im so mad at myself. I looked good, knew it and took advantage of the "high" I had, and got lazy with food choices etc. I have had to fight tooh and nail to get my insurance to approve this. My dad always told me its only a mistake if you don't learn from it! March on soldier...you got this!! Keep us posted. This is a WONDEFUL web site. Just wish I could navigate it better

Newbie I don't know how to reply to this just to you. I am 5 ft 198 . I am no longer ashamed to say this. Its getting ready to CHANGE!!!!! do you have Tricare too?

thank you guys!!

Pat Mac how are u today?

Good luck!! I cant wait til I get to post on here that tomorrow is my day!!

I am trying hard to get banded

this scares me since I am trying to have my lapband approved with Tricare. Are you prime or standard? Have u called them?

What kind of insurance did this to you?

I am 48 and trying to get banded. Please share your experience

Ok another road block! Ive been trying to get Tricare approval since August. I finally feel like I have a chance of an approval. Today I called my surgeons office only to be told that the hospital is on a hiatus (due to paperwork???) an they are only doing lapband WITHOUT plication. I am confused. I was told by the same office initially that I needed both, now after reading a researching I want both. No one could tell me how long this paperwork hiatus would take. Im afraid if I don't get it done ASAP after approval (hoping) that with all the insurance cuts I may never get it. Any advise is appreciated.

ya'll....you cant sue Tricare, its the government

Im just at the point that I do not know what to do. Tricare keeps denying me. Ive done everything they tell me to do! Now I need a physician supervised diet, but yet the base wont do it. My ob gyn will do it but they cant get the form from Tricare. DOES anyone HAVE THE FORM TRICARE REQUIRES???? please I am asking for help

Carolina, I tried to reply. im just not good at these forums. they denied me for physicans diet but yet no one at Tricare can or will tell me what to do. I think the surgeons office is confused too. The surgeons office said they submit but if its denied their work stops there. So im on my own. my direct email is bmxmomla@aol.com

thanks yall. I know if I give up I will go on to develop diabetes. I literally watch my dad die of that horrible disease and now my 26 yr old has had it for 11 years. im asking for help but they are slamming the door in my face
