I got my consuld approved to see Dr. weiner in FrankFurt Germany. Now TRI Care can still deny the actual surgery, but im keeping my hopes up because they said it was almost impossible to get them to approve a consult. So im hoping im going to get approved. I go see Dr. Weiner on Memorial day because germans don't celebrate the holiday and are business as usual..Of course my company is closed so i won't have to take any time off work to make the 2 hr. drive(one way) up their. ohh geesh im soooo freakin excited.:frown:

Sounds like things are moving along pretty well for you! Congratulations and good luck!

Hi! Best of Luck! I'm in the same boat. I have my first consult next Wednesday in Tucson. Where are you located? We've been back in the US for a year. We lived in Heidelberg for 4 years. What I would do to go back! I truly miss it! I'm assuming you have Tricare. I hope I get approved. I'll let you know if I run into any snags along the way. Have a great one!

Hi, were in Schweinfurt. I love Germany, i was told its hard to get approved with tricare overseas with the lap band, but they approved the consult with in couple hours, so i figure i must seriously meet the criteria LOL.

Fingers crossed! I hope everything works out for you!
