Hello Again OH!

Hi, I've been a member for a while, back in 2008 I have a clinical trial surgery, where they accordianed my stomach and sutured it. Well at about the 6 month check I had lost 50-something pounds, and they did a scope and said well some of your sutures are popping, by the 12 month and final visit came, more sutures had popped and and had started to regain some weight.

Since then I've regained all that I've lost. I would have gotten surgery again except our insurance didn't cover weightloss surgery.  Now that we've got Tricare Prime (today was the first day of coverage) I went to the doctor for a refferal to get surgery again.

I am so new to Tricare Prime and having never used it before than I would appreciate any advice about the process and how long it took you to get everything done.

Thanks. Katie
