@Smdnght I am standard too, I picked my surgeon first and called the office and asked if there was a different referral form for my pcm to fill out. I brought that form with me to my pcm appointment and had her fill it out. That form got turned in with all my records including my doctor notes of unsuccessful attempts at weightloss.

Tracy I hope it continues to progress smoothly. I agree it does help when your doctor knows tricare well. Singerbabe, I am tricare west too but I dropped to standard just so I could pick my surgeon. They said that they deal with tricare standard often. I have my psych evaluation this week and I have my first consultation with the surgeon tomorrow. My bmi is 40.75. I am hoping that everything keeps falling into place. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Djmohr, I love all of your advice because all of your post I have read are very helpful. I was hoping that head hunger or mental hunger would get better in time with the surgery. I am in the beginning phase, I have my psych evaluation this week and I plan on inquiring about therapy for the coming year to help with head hunger. That is my biggest fear and concern with me.

That is great. I anticipated paying the 1000 dollar cap. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Maybe mine won't add up to the full cap. That would be great Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

If there is a military hospital near you and you can get in there it should be free. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Or hopefully medicaid picks up the deductible for you Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I dropped to tricare standard, to be able to pick my surgeon, I will have to pay the deductible for the year. The deductible is 1,000 for the fiscal year so I am trying to get everything done before October. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App
