Hi im Dianah and I have been married for 16 yrs, we have 2 children boy (15) and girl (11). my husband has been in the army 17 yrs . We are stationed in Fort Belvoir,Va but currently im in Fort Hood, tx waiting for our house to be finished on the 1st of August. I am also like some of the women here my bmi is 37.7 and unsure if tricare will approve me i have 3 comorbidites..my first appointment with my dr on the thursday and im just praying that i do get approved :thumbup:

yes my consult was already approved. i have an appointment next week. the Patient Advocate said she didnt believe that they would cover me because my bmi wasnt 40 and i wasnt 100 lbs overweight i need 20 lbs to go. but i told her to still book the appointment its worht a shot since i have some comorbids high cholestrol, triglycerides, diabeties

so im reading this right your weight was 100 lbs over..the lady at the dr told me i have to be 100 lbs over weight, she said i need to gain 28 lbs that would give me an bmi of 41.1, but i told her i had diabetis and high cholestrol.. so i told her i still wainted an appointment hopefully tricare will approve im being seen in austin
