I am Tricare Prime (retired) and have completed the three weigh ins, scheduled for an appointment with a nutritionist next week, an endoscopy in two weeks, and a psych appt in 3 weeks. Hopefully surgery will be approved for November.

I had gastric sleeve done on 8/11 I have tricare prime (north) and it wasn't that difficult. Went to my pcm he did the referral that was on May and I got sleeve August so it wasn't that long of a process.

Exquum3, did you pay out of pocket for the NUT appointment? Was your surgery off base? I am Tricare Prime South and everything is off base here. Thanks!

How fast did it approve for Tricare Prime South. I finish everything needed this Friday. I'm anticipating a November surgery date.

I work for Tricare approving the referrals, and it's a relatively fast process for members once all the paperwork is submitted and our medical team reviews it, it takes about 2days to approve.. goodluck!

Does anyone have tricare standard? Right now things seem to be going ok but I go off base for everything and have to find doctors through their provider directory.

Thank you, laGata15. I am completing my requirements this month in hopes of an early Nov surgery date. I work two full time jobs so it's challenging arranging to take off. You've eased my mind considerably!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
