I looked at the weight chart - and if you are 13 pound light then that means that they want you to be right in the middle of the "medium" weight limits or higher. I was denied - they did not even tell me why. So I went crazy and documented everything. Then I had to send the infor to Aroura Co. - these people have not turn around time, no requirements to contact you or even update your status. So I have been waiting for almost 2 months - with no indication one way or the other!!! I hope you do not have to deal with them!!!!

Did you send your package back to the first people who denied you or did you have to send your package to a different place?

I will also say a prayer for you.

When you submitted your appeal did you have to resubmit it to a different place. The first time I was denied I submitted my paperwork to AZ. When I turned my appeal in the second time I had to send it to Colo. I have been informed that they have NO timelimit to respond to the appeal!! So I could wait 3 months to a year!!! I have been waiting 3 months now!!

I hope they go quickly for you.

I had to send it to the same place but I faxed everything so I am not sure I believe it was somewhere in KY. I talked to the lady and they recieved everything. According to her the turn around time has been 3 weeks. She said I can call in a check on it. I am just too scared to lol..:blush:

This is driving me nuts - It has been over 2 months and there seems to be no end in sight! I even emailed Tricare to make sure of the policy - and they stated that there was no time limit. I would love to find out before Christmas.

GREAT! I hope everything goes well for you. We have about the same profile - so I am REALLY glad to see you get approved because maybe I still have a chance! When are you going to get it done? Will you do it before Christmas? Will you have to go on a Protein diet? You are so lucky - I am sooooo jealous!!

Hi guys after a long fight with Triwest I finaly got my APPROVAL. I sent my last chance appeal to TMA on Nov 26th and today I was told by the Appeal person at Tricare that my case was reversed and it was APPROVED. Now all I need to do is wait to Triwest issue my authorization and schedule my surgery. Thank you soo much for all the support.:laugh:

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
