That would be great! I'm tricare south also....

I think there has to be a medical need, such as infection where the skin is rubbing

There needs to be a medical reason like infection in folds of the skin is the main reason they will pay for it

Yes, I heard you have to make sure you have documentation of your doctor having to treat recurrent infections in skin folds.

Yes unfortunately depending on the insurance , take pics of the folds and any irritation , the dr has to document that you have tried powders creams etc....I hate to say this but allow for the sores not to get better and usually you have to wait 18 months from the date of your surgery

I'm tricare south too..really wanna know the answer to all this

Yes. But only the abdominal area. You must be 18 months post op, maintain goal weight within a 5 pound variance, and the loose skin must be photographed and documented by your surgeon. I have Tricare South, and am going through this process now.

my superpower is......
