Denied BCBS...Tricare?

OK so I was denied a lap band to sleeve revision by BCBS MN due to no issues (slip, erosion, etc) with my lap band. ???? Have had the lap band for 9 years, did OK at first, then a lot of obstruction issues. Surgeon consultation, EGD, NUT, psych evaluation all completed. My hubby is joining Navy and we will be switching to Tricare in December. What are my chances on getting approved thru them? Will I have to start process all over? #tryingtostaypositive

    Do you have any other medical issues that you can appeal with, thyroid, blood pressure, heart, diabetis, sleep apnea, orthopedic problems....... Appeals do work. Good luck.

    I have tri care my husband is in the army there was a girl in my classes that had a lap band and was going to go and have it removed and didn't have to do all the classes because she has been through something similar. The only class she did have to go to was the seminar with the doc. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!
