Thank you!!!

Finally got approved today all I have to do is fill out my paperwork and make an appointment for a consultation!!!! Then I am on my way to a new life!!

Thank you cookier224

Ok so the only pain I should have is the gas pain I'm not looking forward to that, thank you for all the info you have giving me on this journey and good luck too you and your new beginnings!

Thank you!! How was the process of your surgery and what should I expect after having it done?

I talked to tri care and it should be approved tomorrow at noon so fingers crossed!!!!

I'm still in the process of getting my surgery hw:230

At medical last week the system went down after he put it in but he told me to call Monday if it wasn't showing on the tricare west site.

I'm just amazed at how fast you got everything done, I did over 6 months of supervised diet and exercise and have stayed around the same weight for 4 months, but I'm hoping to have my referral by the end of the week so I can have my surgery by mid August.

I have called but when my PCM put my referral in there was a computer glitch and tricare has not received it yet, it just sucks waiting all thus time and nothing has happened yet.

Have tricare west and it's been 5 days and I still have not been approved yet, I'm just ready to start a new life and they are not making it easy for me.

Thank you do much I just can't stop thinking about it.

That's great news I'm also waiting to see if I have been approved by tri care west, I'm just so nervous. I've been dieting and exercising for 8 months now and have been stuck at the same weight now for 3 months. I hope by Monday I get the email or call that says I'm approved and have my surgery next month. Can't wait to hear everyone's success story's good luck too everyone!!

I've told my husband who is very supportive my mom and sisters, but one person thinks I don't need it but she has no clue what I'm going thru. If your happy with the desision you've made that's all that matters

I have tri care to and you might want to call medical from your late duty station and see if they can fax all of your records to your new duty station

Omg I'm so happy for you and your new journey!!! Good luck with everything and I'll be praying for you.

Don't know to many people who live in the state of Nevada and have had the surgery or in the process.

Welcome to the RNY club!!!???? hope that you find this app. Helpful with your new journey

@ Michelle that's great that your husband supported you and the decision you made. I myself have a great husband too who just wants me to with myself (which I'm not) but things Will get better soon enough.

My husband and I enjoy eating out but we don't do it every night@ kiwi.

How do your husband's feel about you have RNY ?

That's awesome I'm so happy for you, my PCM wants me to just stick with diet and exercise because I'm only 21 and I can lose the weight but I've hit a wall and have stopped losing weight for a month now and I go see my PCM Monday and hopefully he can start getting me approved for the RNY soon!!! I'm hoping tri care can get me approved within a month (lets hope) how does your husband feel about you having the surgery?

I'm from Maryland but I live in Fallon, Nevada my husbands in the military

I'm new to this site and I have tri care prime (west) my husbands in the navy and I've been talking to my pmc about having the surgery done. I go to see him tomorrow and kind of follow up with him on my diet, I started talking to him about it in may and he said that I might be able to have the surgery in July or august. I'm 5'2 and 208 pounds I started at 230 and have been dieting and exersicing with my husband 6 days a week. I suggest that you make an appointment with your pmc to start the process of having test run on you and letting him know what kinds of foods you eat and how long you have been on a diet. There is no wait list where I live at but it might be different in other places tri care west is different from the east. But if you can see your pmc on a regular basis the process may be much quicker. I hope that this has helped you and good luck on your journey
