TriWest

Does anybody have TriWest for their insurance?  If so, how did the approval go.....They have been covering my appointments pretty good.

Triwest miraculously gave approval within 2 days for the RNY.  I had tried to get approval in 2000 for lap band surgery and was turned down.  I think going through the right process and a good hospital was my ticket this time!  Also, having the catastophic cap of $3000 was great! I wish you success on your journey

Thanks!  I originally wanted the lap band also, but my husband found out from tricare that they NEVER approve lapbands.  Though I did hear of a couple that were done, but at a military hospital too.  I am over 100 lbs. over weight, I have cerbal palsey and my knee's crack everytime I take a step.  I cant go too far in walking without my legs being in sever pain.  I could maybe walk a block without it hurting.......maybe.  Anyway, I will be going back Jan. 9th to see the diatician for the 4th time, hoping I can see the surgeon after that. How many times did you see the diatician?  Psyc told me to see the diatician a couple more times. 

Hi Shannon....just wanted to welcome you to the board and wish you luck in your process.  Great to have you with us.  This is a GREAT board with lots of wonderful people. 

Thanks so much!  I wish I had time to come here more often.
