timetogethealthy

it took it from Friday to a Wednesday and I found through Tricare website....My whole process from surgeons consult till surgery was one month....but alot of people are different depending on insurance and Doctor. Good luck!!

My sister and several other friends went with Dr Barker and they all had wonderful experiences. The only reason I didnt go with him is because I didnt want to drive that far for appts.

Yes that is normal. I am doing the same thing. Hopefully it will get better each day. Just hang in there.

I'm home. Surgery went well. Glad to be home in my bed. Pain is not too bad now especially with the pain meds. Hope everyone is doing well and for the ones still waiting it is all worth it.

Just hang in there it will get better. I had my surgery yesterday too. I found that walking has helped me. Maybe they need to give you something different for pain. Good luck on your recovery.

I had my surgery yesterday too around 10am...I'm feeling pretty good....I walked yesterday and today and its made me feel better...glad to see you are doing well and good luck....enjoy the new you!!

Thank you all for the prayers...my surgery went well...not too much pain yet...

timetogethealthy-Sept 24th-Tracie-239-??

Ok my name is Tracie and thank you!!

Thank you so much I really appreciate that....

I just got my surgery date for Sept 24th, Very happy it is finally gonna happen....Good luck for everybody else in their journeys...

I have tricare south and didnt have to do the 6 or 3 month diet. I had my surgeon appt August 23rd and they sent my paperwork to tricare on the 24th and was approved on the 28th. The only thing I had to do was the cardiologist clearance and my psych clearance but that was my drs requirement. I had heard that the tricare south region was alot easier to get approval. Good luck!!

Thanks so much Dave!!!

Dave, can you please send me that list too??? Thank you!! Traciewebb1969@yahoo.com
