  1. Thanks lilpeach. I didnt tell my PCM which Dr lapband surgeon i wanted to see... only that i wanted to see a surgeon regarding the lap band. She told me i should receive a call in a week or so from the surgeons office....which seems suspect and too easy... I am worried that im going to receive a call from some tricare person telling me that my referral had not been approved. is that possible? i went to humanamilitary... and called, but they told me i had to use the triwest website.. which i did... but my referral info wasnt in there...
  2. I am really confused about the process. I went to see my PCM yesterday. First of all, she didn't know anything about the process, I knew more than she did. She said she was referring me to a surgeon. What happens next? is there a possibility that the referral could be denied? I tried to look on triwest.com to see if I could see the status of the referral... and it wasnt there... when i called the PCM office they said it wouldnt show up but that I should expect a call in a week... normal?
