fpeace,
I'm so sorry that I didn't see your message until now! I did use Tricare for my surgery. I did not have to provide a 5 year medical history. My PCM referred me at the end of December to a Bariatric Surgeon and it was approved immediately (for the doctors visits only). I was set up for a seminar in March along with my first appt with the surgeon. The doctor asked me to lose 5% of my body weight, get an EKG, Psych Eval, attend a minimum of 3 support groups and once that was done they would submit the authorization for the surgery itself. They did this around the middle of May 2008. I kept checking tricare online and my authorization kept saying "pending." On June 1st when I saw the surgeon again they told me I was approved and scheduled for July 28th. That was great news except my co-worker was on vacation on August 1st so I had to postpone it until the next available date.

My BMI was (and is) over 50 and my co-morbidity wasn't listed on the tricare website (High Cholesterol) but they approved me.

I hope that helped and if you have any further questions please let me know. I'll try to get back to you sooner!

Y'all probably don't need to worry about nightgowns; the hospital gowns will be the most practical, and you can wear a second one backwards to cover the back if you're up walking around.  Hopefully your hospital will have large size gowns; if they are doing bariatric surgery, they certainly should.

Take a notepad; you'd be surprised how often you find yourself wanting to write stuff down for one reason or another. And take your phone/address book or cell phone.
