Hi all, I've got a question that I would like anyone's input on. I am Tricare Prime and was banded in Mexico May 2007 with an Inamed band. I chose Mexico b/c I could not afford to pay what an American doc would charge me. Plus, I did my research and found a reputable doc in Mexico. At the time of my surgery, as we all know, Tricare was not covering this type of WLS. Soooooo my question is now, does anyone know if Tricare will cover my fills and/or maintenance with a civilian bariatric doc? Right now I am paying almost $600 for every fill (under fluoro). I am concerned though because now I am starting to have acid reflux and aspirations while I am sleeping and I have got to see my bariatric doc to get this problem addressed. Thanks in advance for all of your suggestions!
