I finally got my referral from my PCM today. Now, I need to go meet with the Bariatic team. I attened the seminar. SO now I guess I just wait to see what the next step is. I really hope this goes smoothly and we don't have any problems with Tricare. Wish me Luck!!!!

While I waited I used the time to find out what my insurance actually needed (i.e. BMI and how many comorbidities). It took several phones calls until I actually got a person who could answer my questions. In the end it was helpful b/c the insurance person at my bariatric doctor's office told me there was no way I would be approved and tried to cancel my appointment. I insisted on my appointment and before I left their office the doctor told me I was right, that the should have no problems getting approved.
