I just wanted to pass this info on to any one who has Tricare and wants the lapband. Officially Tricare does not cover the lap band, However that's only if you want it done in a civilian Hospital. If you have the surgery done at a military hospital then it is covered I am having lap band done at Walter Reed in Washington DC. At Walter Reed they do the RNY and Lap Band. If you would like more info contact me later Heather

My husband has the opportunity to relocate to Washington DC. We are looking forward to it but we are concerned with crime and the cost of living. Can anyone give me the name of cities that have reasonably priced homes and some what low crime. We wouldn't be moving for about another year but I am so excited. We have been in Sumter for almost six years.

an AD person had WLS???? Am I reading this right? I was looking into joining the AF and was told that you can't w/ a WLS. Just curious Thanks
