Hi, I was just sleeved in November under Tricare Select. I am not sure if the regions are different, but I am east coast region. The only tricare requirement was three months of physicians assisted weight loss. Through the surgeon I had to do a nutrition consult and visit with a psychologist. Tricare did cover the psych visit but not the nutritionist visit. I hope this information helps.

Congratulations!!

Good luck today!

Way to go! You look amazing!

I am 43 and was sleeved on the 28th. So far everything is going well and it has been a positive experience. The thing I miss most is being able to drink large amounts of water, but I will keep sipping!

You look gorgeous! This has definitely motivated me:)

I am feeling the same. I have been able to drink a little more today though, so hopefully it will get better day by day.

I was also sleeved the 28th. Hope you are doing well.

I am feeling pretty good. Still a little sore and tired, but happy that I finally did it. Looking forward to figuring out how to rock the full liquid phase!

I was done on the 27th and went home noon on the 28th. I needed the dilaudid up until bedtime on the 29th. After that it's been tylenol 2-3 times a day. But I have fibromyalgia, so I'm accustomed to a constant low level of pain that i don't take anything for. If you're not used to being in pain, you need the meds.

So everyone we made it!!! It is the last day of November, and I just can't believe how far everyone has come from the two week preop phase! This was our month and I think we all rocked it! I can't wait to see how we all do on this journey that we are on! Next stop be it purees or soft foods I think we know we are able to tackle everything that is infront of us! Here's to where it began with dreams of crossing our legs and fitting into airplane seats, I am just really proud of all of us! Have a wonderful weekend!!

I am heading to have mine done this morning too...twins! Good luck:)
