I got approved....I think!!!!



Recommended Posts

My paperwork was submitted yesterday to Tricare. Today I checked the website and it has approved everything but the surgery. It says the surgery is pending review, but they approved the fills and a port revision incase I need that. So should I just assume I am approved? I am so excited Hopefully I will get banded this month. woohoo:thumbup:

I am soooo happy for you!!!! Please keep me posted.

when you get a chance, could you send me the link for the tricare website? i must be going to the wrong one because i cannot find where to register and check on a claim or preapproval/preauthorization. my email is katwmn63@yahoo.com

i wish you the very best success...i hope i can see an "approved" on the website for me too:)

Hello again:)

I registerd with Tricare North, and ugggh, I have to wait for a security code to come in the mail before I can access "my-Tricare". I leave for a 2 week florida trip in a few days (won't get my mail) so I guess I'll have to hope my surgeon's office calls me on my cell phone or notifies me by e-mail. What a distraction this could potentialy be on my vacation:[ I'll keep my fingers crossed though and try to remain optimistic. Maybe I'll get good news and be in the perfect place to celebrate!

take care, congrats to you:) and thanks!!!!

I am sorry about that. I didn't have any security code. I get so nervous about having to wait if I didn't do the online thing I would probably call Tricare everyday. LOL Jennifer

Crap!!! I just called Tricare and asked why my fills were approved but the surgery says pending review. She lady said it is because a medical professional needs to review my stuff. She said don't assume I am approved. ARGGG I was so happy to see the fills were approved but now I have to sit and wait.... ARG:cursing:

Well Triwests website still says pending review but I decided to call Tricare. Well today i was APPROVED!!:) she said that it was approved today so they haven't put it up yet. After I got off the phone with her I started screaming, then realised my windows were open. LOL But I just started crying, almost uncontrolably. My 4 year old says "Why you crying momma" I said "Cause I am happy" then he said "OH, you are crying tears of joy?" I said yes and just had to laugh at him. I thank everyone who showed support while I was awaiting approval and I will continue to show my support for everyone else waiting for their approval. I probably won't have a date till tomorrow. But I will keep everyone posted.....Jennifer

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
