I think I remember someone posting a month or so ago that they got approval from Tricare for VSG.  Anyone have any idea how to get Tricare to approve VSG instead of band or RNY?

the approval is the same as lapband or rny  they also do the VSG but they will warn you that they will only provide one surgery and so if you dont lose as much weight as you wanted to then they will not pay for you to get it redone or to get a revision....and this is what triwest told me and they told me for that reason to chose wisely
