dreamingvsg

In tacoma washington. My insurance is tricare. I want to get the vsg at MADIGAN not outside a military facility. And I just want to know if anyone has gotten the sleeve through Madigan and all the details. Please. Desperate.

Well some people are telling me I can get the sleeve at Madigan on base. (Mtf) and tricare will cover it. And some people are telling me no. So there are mixed replies. That's why im confused. Thats all.

Thank you guys so much. Theres to many mixed responses to this question. I've looked everywhere. If I get the sleeve and get approved I do want it at Madigan aka MTF. so hopefully that is covered. I went through this process before went to a seminar at Madigan two years ago, put myself on the list. Then a couple months after they called me to start the program but I couldn't cuz I stopped going to school so I was dropped from tricare. But I start school again January and will be back on tricare. This is my dream. Im 23. I have pcos. Which makes is soooo hard to lose weight ive tried anything and everything you can think of. (Atkins, hcg drops, pills, starvation, lots of cardio, workout girdles etc) nothing has helped. I also had asthma when I was in middle school. My bmi is 46.92 I believe. Not 100% sure. My main concern is I wanna beat pcos. In hopes one day I can have children. I know theres alot of hoops to go through. But im determined. I just want a new start. My parents are going through a divorce, the new year is about to begin ill be 24 in November I just wanna do this for me. But I also I have the worse luck in the world too. I have a feeling I'll do all these steps and not get approved or something .. I also came from a physically abusive relationship and gained at least 20 lbs so now im sitting at 265 and im short. I just hope and pray things will work out. Sorry for my long story. But if you have any more advice. Or details reguarding tricare. Sleeve. Steps tp take pr your own story and what you did to start all this. Please please let me know. I never been on a site like this. And just your guys comments alone makes me feel important. so thank you.

Is it hard* sorry

Hello im from Tacoma, Washington. And my insurance is tricare. I know Madigan has a seminar Jan 8 2014. But I guess first I have to see my pcp first for her to put in a console? My question is what do I say to her? And if she puts one in what happens next? Also..my next question is hard to get vsg or any other bariatric surgery approved by tricare. If not. How long does it usually take? I hope my questions are clear. Its 2am and all this is on my mind. Pleasw answer
