  1. Hello- I am very interested in getting the lap band done and have already spoken with my PCM about it.. I am getting excited but dont want to get my hopes up in case i dont get approved.. I have Tricare Prime West.. if you know anything extra I can do to get the edge up any and all advice is more than welcome. Thanks in advance for the guidence and support!
  2. So.. after reading everyone's posts I am still a little confused.. I am currently 300 lbs at 5'8". Now these numbers qualify me for both small and medium frame for the 200% rule, but the issue is that my wrist measures 8" around which makes me large framed. To be at the 200% for the maximum of the large frame I would have to gain 27 lbs. I also dont have any comorbidites... I have slight PCOS and only a raised triglycerides. Everything else is normal!! (HOW IS THAT?!?) My questions are... For the 200% rule do you go by the max or the min for the range? (because if this is the case I am at 200% for the large frame which is from 146-167) How much of a stickler are they with the whole frame thing? Any info or advise would be great!! Thanks.
