Tricare and finding a doc.

Ok I am looking for a doc in the ok area that performs that lap RNY and takes tricare prime. Also anyone that has resently went through the tricare process would be very welcomed to email me with any information. I am just starting my approval journey, through by sheer numbers i am qualified (380 lbs). I live in Lawton Ok. Close to texas line. Linda

I started by asking my primary care manager to refer me. The referral sends you to General Surgery and they call you for a "group meeting". The surgeon comes in and does a presentation, has you fill out some paperwork and then tells you she will get back with you. Both surgeons are women. Several of my group asked about being sent to Wichita Falls to Dr. Warnock but she explained that at this time since Reynolds has 2 qualified surgeons on board they cannot give you a referral off post. You can email me at [email protected] if you have more questions. I am at the end of my appointments.

I don't know if he does the Lap band but Dr. Warnock in Wichita Falls does alot of military. He did my RNY and I love him. He is awesome. Hope you find someone. Dr. Warnock is on the web site here. good luck Deloris
