Thank you so much for understanding. I am trying one last thing before I go forward with the surgery, just to humor him. We will see how things go

Tricare covers ONE bariatric surgery IN A LIFE TIME. So I have to make the best decision for me. Plus I have to convince my husband that its not a cop out.

Thanks ladies I brought him the stuff from the seminar and asked him to look at it. He just said to set it down and he would look at it later. I did the HCG diet and lost 80 lbs, but have gained it back since marrying him. Now he's into cross fit and doesn't realize that we all lose different.

I'm having trouble making my husband understand that I need help with portion controls and I am having trouble dropping weight. He tells me that wanting this surgery is just a 'cop-out' and could do it on my own if I apply myself. Does anyone else have this issue??

Thanks Cheri. I was planning to go to a civilian doc. I found out our tricare contract is changing. So it makes it more difficult. And now my husband is saying 'its a cop-out'. I'm all turned around and getting discouraged.

Well that's just poopy

Lol. Thanks. I'm not all up on the abbreviations.

Mtf? I'm lost. Lol

Dr Edwards. Going to Hammonds Heart Institute. I haven't met him or anything yet. This wi be my first seminar.

Was tricare hard to work with? No one I know has ever used Tricare. What kind of paperwork do I need to take to the first seminar? I am taking a friend and a list of questions. Thank you

I am a military spouse, but am just starting. Was tricare pretty quick with approvals? Good luck to you

I have a seminar the 21st in spfld mo. If I hear anything good I will let u know.

Gam, I am going off base. My husband is retired . I hope u r correct about them being quick. like all insurances, co- pays and visits are going up. and I heard it's by March, and I want to hurry That's another reason I don't want the band. Let me know if u hear anything and I will post what I find . good luck
