Congratulations...it will be here before you know it!!! You are so amazing, you are going to do awesome!!!!!

I found a surgeon and made sure he took Tricare. Then I swiched my PCP from on post to a network doc. She was supposed to put in the referal on the 6th but I called Tricare AGAIN and she said that I had a referal to a diff kind a surgeon. WTF!! I am picking my doc. Not them. She said the surgeon was for my ankles.?? My dr never said nuthin bout my ankles...just was swollen. I'm going to get my PCP to send my surgeon I PICKED a letter for authorization and my surgeon will send it to Tricare. I also seen on the website that Tricare doesn't cover the laproscopic but my surgery coordinator said that the Trcare manager said they do cover it. I don't know whats going on anymore. I know it's a big head ache. I'm gonna try to get everything fixed tomorrow. I am going to a seminar and support group meeting on the 20th. The bad thing is this surgeon is the ONLY one in the area I live and I have to see his Psych and dietician...wich I WILL have to pay for....That sucks because I have 4 kids and no $ left at the end of the month.

Hi Molly, Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. I started my journey with my PCP. He referred me to a surgeon then after that Ive had to get a Psych eval, nutrietion class, was told I had to attend a support group meeting, which I did last night and it was awesome I enjoyed it. But they are also making me have an ultra sound to see if I have gall stones, ekg and chest x-ray. My BMI is 42.5, and so far Ive not had a problem with Tri-care at all. Did you have your PCP to refer you to see a surgeon? just curious. To be honest Ive not once even been to the tri-care website I just went through my pcp and thats it after that I guess it got approved.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope they got enough data. Get some rest today.

well i had my sleep study last night and it was horrible i couldn't fall asleep. one of the most uncomfortable experience
