Tricare's requirement Is a BMI over 40 or a BMI of 35-39.9 with one comorbidity....for example high blood pressure, diabetes...etc but you also need 6 months of supervised diet and exercise to be approved in the TriWest region...I believe other areas have different requirements regarding the supervised diet..
