I have CHAMPVA insurance through my husbands VA benefits, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who also has the same insurance? I am wondering if they give alot of hassle? I meet the requirements not only for the bmi, weight and the medical part. I have the initial consul with the surgeon on Monday morning :sneaky:. Just wondering if someone can give me heads up or help with this.

I am Tricare Standard, not the same but still military related. As with all things military, if they got a rule, follow it , follow it, follow it. Check out their website if you haven't and start with their guidelines. I think you have to go through a military facility and documentation will be a big deal. Weight history and proof of weight loss programs tried and failed, 5 years is what is looked at most often. I also think you will need to do a 6 month structered weight loss program. They would have you meet with a base nutritionist and then once a month check in. I didn't have to do all of this but I think the people with TriCare Prime do. Good luck. I was approved in just a few days of having paperwork submitted. There are some ohter things you will need to do, but start with their requirements because it can get involved.:tt2:
