  1. Tricare with less than 100 lbs to lose?

    Prya posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
    Hi everyone, I live in the Tricare north region and am interested in LAP-BAND® surgery but do not weigh 100 pounds over my ideal weight. Has anyone with less than 100 pounds to lose been successful at getting approved by Tricare prime (or standard if it is easier to get approved) for surgery? How difficult was the process? Did you have to submit an appeal? What do you feel helped you get approved without meeting their requirements? I would really appreciate getting some input from people who have gone through this experience before me :confused:
