About two weeks ago I met with my PCM and we talked about Lap-Band. She submitted paperwork and so far Tricare has approved a consult with a surgeon. I'm 5'3'' (sometimes they say 5'4'') and about 232-236 pounds. I don't have high BP or diabetes but I have carpel tunnel, knee and back pain. Also very large breast. Do you think I'll get approved? Can anyone offer some pointers and what to do before my consult? Thanks!

well with your tallest height and your heaviest weight puts you in the 40 bmi range so i would assume you would but you could always just wear heavier clothing and ull be fine. good luck!!
