I am scared

I know that this is what to do

I want I want to get the lap band. I need to lose 146 lbs . I need to get health for me and my family. I am a military depended and I have tricare prime. I don’t really know my Dr because they just send me to who ever is working really. I am scared that when I ask for the referral she will say No to me. Has this happened to anyone else.

How did you ask your DR ?

    I too am a military dependent. I told them I wanted a lapband referral when I made the appointment. I saw a doctor I had never seen before and she made the referral right away. Tricare approved quickly and I had my surery within a month.

    Good Luck!

    I'm tricare standard....didn't need a referral but my PCM would've given me one if I'd needed it.
