how long from first consultation to surg? im hoping mine goes fast! any helpful info would be appreciated! im 27/ 40 bmi...

After my first appt I had to start a six month class. Every month I got something to read and weighted in. My insurance required it...but each one is different. It really help for me to go to those nutrition classes. It made the transition easier.

i am expecting worse case scenario...6 months...but ive also heard some girls say they got approval in 2 weeks! awesome! im just worried cuz i have no medical conditions

I have triwest. Tricare prime remote and I'm 3 months into my 6 month weigh ins. I got excited about hearing people getting approved so quickly but I wasn't so lucky. Good luck!!

All Triwest patients have to do the required 6 months of medically supervised diet and exercise I heard it differs from region to region, but West is 6 months...I actually did 7 months by mistake!!..I have a surgery date and now I am just waiting on the approval. Good Luck!

Does anyone have TRICARE SOUTH

What does supervised diet actually mean

Medically supervised weight loss effort documentation, showing participation in a physician supervised nutrition and exercise program..

For me it was seeing my doctor every month, being weighed and discussing with him my exercise and eating habits for the month prior...it all had to be documented in my notes because Tricare needed to see the notes when my 6 months was up. I can't speak for any program like Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig etc and how they work as far as Tricare are concerned because I didn't do those...
