I am about to start getting my fills.

My surgeon only does fluro fills (which is fine with me).

Do we need to have any other approval for this type of fill?

Tricare has already approved me 6 more visits until September.

Please advise if you think that I need to get another type of approval

from my Tricare. (we are tricare prime north as my hub is retired)

Carolinagirl..I am Tricare Prime (South) and I have had four floroscope fills and a few regular fills. Tricare has paid for them all (I paid the co-pay). I see the doctor monthly and have for over a year and every one has been covered. As for getting a referral - my surgeon does that out of his office so I don't have to worry about it. In fact, my appointments are set for the rest of this calendar year.

so how was the fills?

i read on here alot about people throwing up and cant swallow or eat and i am working my self into a tizzy.

Carolinagirl - the first one was a bit scarey - not sure what to expect. But I have not had a single problem with my fills. It helps renew your spirit and your dedication a bit.

Had over 6 fills (not in fluro which is more exact) and knock on wood no PB's or vomitting.

so is it possible when you have fills, to not pb or vomit? that is really scary to me. (i read alot of complications from fills on here) and since my first one maybe in the next couple weeks) i am kinda on the fence teetering and wondering......
