Hi Armywife!! I am having my surgery on March 5th. I am so excited, nervous, and just ready to begin a new healthier life. I am also an army wife. I am going through Tricare Prime and it has been a pretty smooth process. I started in September 2013, so 6 months from start to surgery date. Not too bad. Some folks on here have been going through the process for over a year. Where are you located? I am in Georgia, just south of Atlanta. I am 39 (40 in April) and I am 5'2 1/2" tall and weighed 234 at my last appointment at the end of January.

Good luck!!!!!

I have already had my surgery but am here if you have any questions! Also look for December surgery forum or thread. It was great for me to talk with people who had already had the surgery.

So frustrated...I just called my insurance to see if I have been approved yet. They don't even have the request yet. I sent a message to find out when it is going to be submitted. It has been two weeks since I met with the surgeon's office and they told me they were going to submit right away. Really getting nervous I am not going to have my surgery until late in March. I was trying to time it perfectly to be off work the week of Spring break. And then be able to pack up for moving April 1st. If it gets too late in to March I am going to be useless in moving.
