UGH! TRICARE sucks! they basically gave me a referral to see a surgeon who is not in network and only does a procedure they do not cover! Back to the drawing broard for me

Just this morning I checked mytricare.com and my referral to see a WL surgeon has been approved. The funny thing is it is for a Dr that only does Lap Band. Until today I had never considered a Lap Band and I don't know much about it. I can not call the Dr or TRICARE until Monday so I am trying to research as much as I can I have TRICARE PRIME REMOTE, I am wondering if this means they are going to start paying for Lap Band????

I just found this site and I do not want to come off sounding like a snot, but this is just not true. TRICARE will, in some instances, pay for some plastic surgery. But only when medically necessary, like when you have a hernia or need a breast reduction. The idea that TRICARE automatically gives everyone one free shot at all the plastic surgery you can fit in is very misleading. I wish it were true, but it's just not. Again I apologize because it does sound like I am being a snot and I really don't want to.
