I have my 1st surgeon appt tomorrow. Wondering if I will schedule my surgery date tomorrow? I have everythi else scheduled already ( upper GI, psych veal and meeting with the dietition on oct 20th) I have tricare prime. When I went to the seminar they said the whole process with tricare can be done in about 30 days. So far everything has happened with lightening speed just curious to hear at what point in the process did you get your surgery date?

I didn't get my date until all of the tests and consultations were done and the reports back to the surgeon's office.

justa quick update. I didn't get my date. He said we can schedule a date as soon as the GI is done. So fingers crossed i will have by band some time in Nov. My GI appt is Oct 20th. Once it's done they submit to tricare. (which everyone says is super fast to approval.) hope so in my case as well. :thumbup::thumbup:
