thanks! Do you know if you have to have had your surgery at Palmetto Baptist? I had mine at Lexington and I don't think they have this type of support group.

That is wonderful news!!! I'll call his office right away. I had to pay 11,000 for my surgery. Something is wrong with my band; and I don't have the money to go to the bariatric dr to get it fixed. If the insurance co. retired teacher will pay for this, i can lose weight again.
I'm calling now. Thanks for the info.

Topic: RE: Moving to SC - questions (have Tricare Prime ins)
It's safe to say that if your current PCM thought this was the way to go for you to lose weight then your future PCM will think so too. As long as the doctor's reasons are listed in your file and you have documentated information about your battle with the weight then you should have nothing to worry about. Also since Tri-Care approved it before I think they will do it again. Let me know how it goes for you. Good Luck!
