Also, with Tricare the rules are different too...if you have a military doc they will know the qualifications but most civilian docs dont.....Tricare requires you weight double what they consdier to be a normal weight. OR if you have a 40++ BMI with 2 MAJOR comorbities.....good luck and dont stress

OK, I see it did not go thru, let me see if I can type this again.....Dont worry too much, its not so bad. They just want to be sure you know what you are getting into and that you are not looking for a quick fix....let them know you have tried everything, be honest. Also, they want to ensure that you have a support system and that you do not have family or friends fighting you on doing this. They want to be sure you are not suicidal or that you have the tendency to lose it, mentally. They are looking for previous mental illness or problems. Just let them know you have a good support system, how you have tried everything and need this to be healthy. Just talk like you would to a friend. I cried and laughed during the entire thing. They will ask about your childhood, parents, current life, etc. Don't stress...you will be fine, good luck!!! Let me know if you have any more questions....sorry if there are lots of typos, I hate this keyboard!!!
