I am 5' 9 283 pounds, I have high blood pressure and my BMI is 43. So can I set an appointment with her now or do i need to wait until I see the general surgeon?

Thank you. I am glad to meet someone on here that will be having it at the same place. I am really anxious to get the process started. My BMI is 43. I just hope through everything I get approved. My husband used to work at Balboa. How was the psycological evaluation? What was the reason for loosing 10 pounds? Did you have to do group meetings. Sorry for all of the questions. LOL I have a new San Diego:thumbup: Lap Band buddy.

Thank you both of your post really helped. I also have Tricare prime West If all goes well I will be having my surgery at Balboa Navy medical center in San Diego CA

I have Tricare Prime and I was wondering if anyone who has the same insurance can tell me about the approval process with the. I just had my first referal appointment today with my Primary. :grouphug:

Thank you for the reply, I am insured through Tricare Prime. I just hope it doesnt take to long. Have a blessed night.:grouphug:

I am new with this whole thing. I had my very first appointment today with my Primary doc, I am 21, my BMI is 42 and I am 5'9 283 pounds. She said someone from surgery would be calling me this week to move further along. I am interested in knowing how long everything will take up to my actual surgery date. I hope not to long. :grouphug:
