  1. Wow, this doesn't get much action, lol. Ok, I am also new to the site and live on Ft. WW here in Alaska. I just got referred to Dr. Searles and am nervous as I don't know much about him. I was reading up in Dr. Todd and know of some people done by him so was surprised that is wasn't him. I am ok with it, just surprised. Been trying to find out how he is and what his process is. My appt is Oct. 20 for consult. I am nervous and excited.
  2. already had surgery. I went to my PCM and she referred me to a doctor in Mobile, AL. I call them and they said I had to have a orientation before I can even see the doctor. So I made that for this Wednesay. My question is, the referral I got is that for the surgery too or just to see the doctor doing the Lapband? The reason I am asking is according to his website, I will need to have a evalution by the nutritionist, psycoligist (sp) and may even need a 5 yr evaluation on showing that I have been trying to loose weight. I thought me going to the PCM and getting a referral for the Lapband was all I was going to need. Can someone answer these questions that have already done this. Thanks so much, Angela

    Another Tricare question for those you have

    Ok. I was just wondering and got confused on it. I was hoping to have it done before May because we are moving from AL to AK. Thank you, Angela

    Tricare now approves lapband

    My PCM just put in my referral. She said I should here something within 10 days. Should I try and schedule anything myself? Is there anyone who got approved and didn't have to do all the other stuff? Plus how are you finding your doctors? I am in Ft. Rucker, AL and even my PCM said she didn't know where I could get this done at. Plus we are moving in May to Fairbanks,AK (Ft. Wainwright) I wonder if I should wait or if I could get this all done and banded before May? It figures they start paying and now we get a letter to move. He leaves for desert not too long afterwards, so I will be alone with 5 kids, not sure if I should wait or go on. Any thoughts? Thanks, Angela

    Tricare - Center of Excellence???

    Hi all. I just went to my PCM yesterday and she is putting in for LB referral. She said I should hear something in a few days. I am Prime and South. I seen in the waiting room this sign that said something about This Center is a Center of Excellence, but I didn't pay any attention other than that. I guess maybe I should have.
