where do you go online to see if you are approved from TRICARE? I am also retired TRICARE PRIME. I went to seminar in April, Psyh in May,nutri in June, Dr in June and had to have alot of blood work also stress test a couple of weeks ago and saw the Dr again today and I am scheduled for surgery AUG. 28 yessssssss!

Unless I misunderstood but I read it on here somewhere but I will check on it further and let you know, I think it should be covered but that is just me:thumbup:

Unless I misunderstood but I read it somewhere on here and just got real excited:lol:. I will check further and let you know.

I am a dependent of a retiree and I have TRI PRIME, I was diagnosed w/breast cancer in 2007. My chemo was close to $80,000 and TRI PRIME paid all I only pd $12.00 co-pay, on my radiation I pd close to $500. The surgeon that is doing my Band requirs all of his patients to pay $380. for something I forgot what. I am just getting really excited waiting on my surgery date.

I am also TRI PRIME. I am a dependent, when I found out that Tri paid for LAPBAND I started the process got my referral, went to seminar in April, went to phyctrist, talked to nutristnist, and talked to the surgeon, did my blood work and stress test, now I am waiting for the corodinator to call and schudule my surgery, then I will have to do a 5day diet of liquids. Also my surgeon requires every patient to pay $380. for something I forgot for what but it is in my paper work. I am happy to know that they pay for tummy tucks.:tongue_smilie:. PLEASE EXCUSE MY SPELLING:blushing:

Well I can most of the time figure how to do something on the puter, but that ticker counter stumped me, even after Phyllis told me how to do it. I got my daughter to put it on for me and I watched her and of course I kept missing a step duhhhh :tongue_smilie: I kept missing the "edit sig. step" but all is well now.:tt1:

you are probably right.:smile2:

I have not had the surgery yet but will have to go on liquids for 5 days, I was told that it shrinks your liver so it does not get accidently cut with the instruments.

test to see if my ticker works It works! It works! Thank heaven my daughter is not only beautiful but a genius (she's typing this too....)

i figure it out either

i am 57 had vag hyst. When i was 26, the best surgery i ever had. Was in hosp. 4 days, i had fibroid cyst, was chomping at the bits to go back to work in 3 weeks but had to wait 6 weeks but there again that was 30 years ago. Good luck.

i am new to this. I also have tri prime and did not know if the fills were covered. I have done all the stuff and already talked to surgeon and just waiting on the phone call for surgery. Good luck to you
