Has anyone got approved from tricare for the band being under 100lbs overweight? I am 86 lbs overweight, with family problems of heart, also bad back pain, I just went through a procedure friday to check me for gerd. My bmi is 41.6. I am just waiting on the final approved for the surgery from tricare. I know that one of there requirements are at least 100lbs overweight...Anyone got approved without being 100lbs overweight??? :thumbup:

Hello, I have my consultation on April 2nd. Good luck to you!

I have tricare prime and I already saw my family dr. She referred me for the lap band no problems. Tricare approved me for 5 visits. I already been to the seminar and turned in my paper work today. I just got to wait now for an appt. to see the surgeon for my first consultation date!

I am from Traverse City. I got the approval from tricare for the consultation.
