Its already too late for my daughter as she already had it open before they started covering the Lap again.

Jen,
I just had Lap RNY Monday, March 14th and I'm Tricare Prime. Have your daughter look into it again.
As for me, I can say that my recovery has been just wonderful and without complications.
Topic: FYI Laproscopic RNY
I had Gastric Bypass 7/03 Laproscopic. Jan 04 Tricare decided not to cover it anymore Laproscopic but would pay for the open procedure. My daughter had not decided yet to go thru with GBS and when she did decide unfortunatly they quit covering the Lap so she had the more invasive Open. Anyway I was in my surgeon's office this past week and they told me that in the past couple of weeks Tricare is now covering Gastric Bypass both Open and Laproscopic. I hope this is true it is much easier to recover from than the open.

Hi, I have lost 30lbs. so far. Possibly more but I only weigh weekly and I skipped this week because we were in Oregon. We will be headed to Utah this time next year. Where are you at?
