Sounds like I'm in the same boat as you. I have Standard so I have to go off post. Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App Yes I do. I'm in VA beach Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I am at Eustis. I am just starting the bariatric program at Portsmouth. Before I received my referral, I considered going standard and through the bariatric program at Sentara. I went to the orientation last week and see the surgeon on the 10th. There is a facebook group, I believe it is called Weight loss surgery with tricare. All of the women in that group are so helpful! They explained the entire process to me beforehand, so that I'd have a greater understanding of tricare and the bariatric programs. There are locals in there too. One just had the surgery in July and she is standard. She is very helpful and helps me with all of my questions. She went through sentara. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App I'll have to look up that page. Thanks for sharing! Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App Yes, we definitely should start a page!

It can't hurt to ask, I think I'm gonna have to ask as well I've developed some reflux since meeting with my surgeon . Best of luck to you!!! Let us know how it goes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@anonmom my doctor said you would have to take supplements with the sleeve to just not as much as the bypass Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@ginabee38 it's pulmonary embolism Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My doctor pushes RNY. I know he's done a few sleeves but over 3000 bypass. He wants me to have the bypass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea that's why I want it cause it has few complications, I think my fear is just silly does your program require psych clearance I go next week! Everything's moving so fast Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We're on the same track. Do you know which surgery you're going for? I'm still weighing out both. Apart of me wants the sleeve but I have this fear that it might not work for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I completely understand how you feel, to me it's important to have support unfortunately sometimes if the person can't understand what you are going through it's hard to find support from them. I like the Baritastic social group on Facebook everyone either went through WLS or is in the process and they have been the best of support and this group as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No not yet I'm thinking after the holidays so maybe January. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
