Hi Vanessa,

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you before now, but I live where hurricane Ike came through and to be honest the lapband forum isn't at the top of my priority list. : )

To be honest with you in regards to Tricare it was unbelievably fast. I went to the consulation (paid that amount $75) myself. Then within 3 weeks I was approved and had my surgery scheduled. I could have had it earlier, but we had a vacation planned and I had to push it back. It was pretty amazing how quickly it went. I do think it makes a difference if you have Tricare South or whatever region you're in, but South was a breeze. Good luck!
