Old Salt

Thanks for the info. I know, slow down, but........ My insurance these days is Medicare as promary and Tricare for Life as secondary. Hard to determine what their time requirements are. I will call them Monday to try and find out. Thanks again. P.S. Love the name "ByPassingMyPhatAss" !

Thanks for the reply! I see her bio on their website and she seems very qualified, thanks. Do you like the support syatem provided by TGH? I read somewhere that TGH requires a 6 month weight loss counseling prior to the surgery. Although your situation is different with previous Lap Band, do you have any insight on the wait? I really do not want to drag this on any further. I have used Nutritionists before, have lost weight several times, and now eat healthy. But although it was hard to maintain that loss, I am discovering that with old age it has become hard to even loose. I was hoping (maybe unrealistically?) to have surgery by November. Thanks again.
