New here and found out about this web site through a co-worker that had gastric bypass. My question to you guys is I have TriCare Prime and was seen by PCM i have been hav abdomal pain with sit ups/exercise. I had a 10 1/2 lb 15 years ago since then nothing has been the same. 2000 I had a vaginal hysto because of problems from my son's birth. My fist child 19 years ago was also a section. So now I am left with this muffin top and now i find out that my abdomal muscles are seperated. I live near a MTF but they do panni surgery only no repair of muscles. So now what? I cant loose this belly weight no matter what I do and now all this exercise i am doing it feels like the scar is going to bust open. Can they refer me out in town to a Doctor and will Tricare pay for it? Can you guys help?

I am on Tricare Prime Remote, so what I have to do may differ from what you have to do. But they told me sister that you can get a referral to a private doctor off base, and then talk to them about it--especially if the base resources are really backed up like ours are here. (The unit is deployed)
