Dr. Bolonowski at Portsmouth will do the sleeve "if it is medically indicated or if the patient insists that they want it."  I'm having RNY with her.  The process will be slower in the next few months as 2 of their docs are leaving - one leaving the Navy and another deploying.  But I had my orientation in March and am hoping for a Mid-july early august date.  I was referred to a civilian by my pcm, but Portsmouth picked me up and you will have to go with the point-of-service option if you use a civilian. 
Hey, anyone know how to change the doctor listed with my name?  When I first signed up, I put a diff doc because I didn't know that Portsmouth would pick me up.  It's not one of the options in my profile now.

The Norfolk Sentara Group does the sleeve and takes Tricare. I am with Dr. Fontana and we discussed the sleeve, RNY, and lap band. I do have both Aetna and Tricare, but they said that Tricare covers it.

Good luck!
