I have Tricare Prime as well. So far it hasn't been too difficult insurance wise. I did have to have a referral from my PCP though. I went on the Tricare site, found put which surgeons Tricare allowed and researched until I found one I was comfortable with. Every region is different but I'm in the South region. Good luck with your Journey! I was terrified to ask my PCP for the referral, but all he could say was no, but he didn't! Got my referral approved I one day! Just tell him why you want to do it! you can do this!

Thanks! :-)

Turns out I have tricare standard so I don't need a referral however I want to asked my doctor on Monday if he could recommend someone. If not then I'll go with my 2nd choice for a doctor.

Thanks again!

Hey everyone!

I finally asked my PCP if I could have bariatric surgery! He said yes but only if I go through the "lean program" first.

I now have 2 new doctors for my weight loss program. Spoke with them yesterday, one is my nutritionist and the other is my bariatric surgeon. Both I'm meeting on February 13th yay! So the following week my diet should start.

I'll have more of an understanding of when I will have the surgery when I meet with them in February. :-)

I'm going to lose as much as I can on the diet, for success.

Yay!

Im sooo excited!
