Topic: RE: Having Surgery and PCSing.....
From what I understand in order to not PCS you would have to qualify for EFMP, exceptional family member program... but if the military base that is receiving you has medical facilities that can accomidate your medical status then the PCS is a GO! Most of the facilities have a surgery clinic that can see you for WLS, even a Primary Care Manager could do it with some help on what to look for. So dont count on not having to PCS... In my opinion it would just end up him PCSing by him self and you left behind at the old post. I would call the new post surgery clinic and see if the provide WLS and ask them if they will be able to start seeing you for follow up right away. Maybe you can get a phone consult with the surgeon on that post, you may want to also hand carry a copy of your surgery medical records to the new post. Good Luck.
Now if a service member has the surgery then who knows what the rules would be
