So I already have my referral from my PCM and I am supposed to go see the surgeon on 12/3/08. I am a little scared cause I am at the borderline mark and I am scared Tricare won't approve. I am 5'2 small frame and weigh 194 and I have PCOS. Does anyone know if tri-care considers PSOC a co-morbid? (I think that is what they call it) Also, what do you think the chances are that tricare will approve my lap-band. Any helpful information that anyone has regarding having this surgury through tricare at a military hospital would be much appreciated. We are stationed at Ft. Lewis and I will be having the surgury at Madigan if Tricare approves it.
