Topic: RE: initial consult went so great today
that's what i had thought, also (re: lapband), but as long as the procedure is done by a military surgeon, it is covered. the only time it is not covered is with civilian surgeons. i am having my procedure done at walter reed.
Topic: RE: Has anyone heard from Erica Chapman?
She use to post regularly here. I guess she must not be checking the site very often, or you would have gotten a message back.
Topic: RE: initial consult went so great today
That is so wonderful that your consulation went so well!!! But, Leann is right. Tricare does not cover the lapband. If I were you I would bring it up again with your surgeon.
Congrats on getting everything started!!!!!
Topic: RE: finished my sleep study this morning!!!
my last appointment is my psyc. evaluation. (knock on wood...it should be my last). It is for Sept. 24th. The way I understand it from that point it should be three to four weeks before I know yah or nah from Tricare. I know I feel just like everybody else. I am just so ready to get all this over with and have the operation!!! LOL I am not a very patient person anyway. I guess I am learning to be; because everyone else seems to be taking their time.
Topic: RE: initial consult went so great today
Tri-care does not cover lap band surgery, so you may want to clarify this with your surgeon.
Topic: RE: Has anyone heard from Erica Chapman?
No, I have not heard from her. I pm'ed her about two weeks ago and have not heard anything back.

Topic: RE: finished my sleep study this morning!!!
that means you're one step closer! yay! i found out today that i am going to have to have a sleep study too...well, i guess that will be determined anyway, after my consultation with them.
how much longer do you have to go before you can submit your package?

Topic: initial consult went so great today
i can not believe how incredibly smooth everything has gone. my surgeon is a great man. i definately feel comfortable around him...and he gave me so much information i feel like i am an expert now
so i guess its time to start making up my blog and page. does anyone know where i can get those cute little backgrounds?
thanks
oh ps
i have my choice between lapband or rny. i'd love to hear about anyone's experience with either of them


Topic: Has anyone heard from Erica Chapman?
I really miss talking with Erica? Does anyone know how she is doing? I read her blog and she hasn't updated in awhile. I noticed she has a myspace profile; but I am not on her list so I can't go into it. I was just wondering what she has been up to.
