MTF covers Lapband in CA - need help

Hi - I am new to this board and I have recently found out that Tricare does not cover the lapband with civilian doctors. Does anyone know if there is a MTF in CA that does cover the surgery? Thanks in advance for your replies. Retired Navy Wife

not sure what part of ca you are in but san diego has balboa, not sure if they perform lap there, but you could call, or someone else might post. it might help if you generlize your location

I haven't heard of them doing any anywhere, but it doesn't hurt to call around. Diana

The only place I've heard of an MTF doing the Lap Band is Walter Reed in Washington DC. Have you tried the Lap-Band board? If you haven't, make sure to put Tricare in the subject line, it helps to better alert the Military Lap-Banders. Good luck! Andi
