Have you called insurance ? I got mine less than 24 hours ...

I was submitted at 3 pm and has approval by 9 am the next morning ! I had a surgery date in a week. just call ! Lol

I have called but when my PCM put my referral in there was a computer glitch and tricare has not received it yet, it just sucks waiting all thus time and nothing has happened yet.

Tricare said there was a glitch or your pcp said there was a glitch ?

I'm just amazed at how fast you got everything done, I did over 6 months of supervised diet and exercise and have stayed around the same weight for 4 months, but I'm hoping to have my referral by the end of the week so I can have my surgery by mid August.

At medical last week the system went down after he put it in but he told me to call Monday if it wasn't showing on the tricare west site.

I started April 26 ... I only had 3 meetings with nutritionist and pcp ! I lost 1 pound the whole time ...

I talked to tri care and it should be approved tomorrow at noon so fingers crossed!!!!

Congrats !!!!!!!!

Thank you!! How was the process of your surgery and what should I expect after having it done?

Unmm I arrived there at 8 am. Had surgery at 1:52. I cried the whole waiting time lol I was emotional . Honestly , I had no pain as far as the surgery but the GAS IS HORRIBLE AND I STILL HAVE IT AND IM ALMOST 1 WEEK OUT. It's like gas bubbles in my chest , back , and tummy ! Walk walk walk !!! And bring gasx chewables !

Ok so the only pain I should have is the gas pain I'm not looking forward to that, thank you for all the info you have giving me on this journey and good luck too you and your new beginnings!
