One thing the will not cover is Protien.

Welcome to the board, Julie!! I am I Marine SSgt's wife. If you are having trouble with quiting. The military covers that pill to help you quit, I don't know the name, but it is covered. Good Luck! Hope to talk to you soon!! ~~Mindy~~

Wha! That's crazy that your PCM has told you that multi-vits are not covered. I've gotten many meds that are over the counter via scrip....Tylenol, Multi-vitamins (when I was pregnant though...not right now), calcium, childrens tylenol. I saw that you asked your pharmacy, but you have to go through your PCM (not sure if it was a typo or not). All they have to do is put it in the computer and you can pick it up

Hey it's great to have you on the board! Tricare I believe is one of te quickest insurance companies there are. I had the lap RNY and I love it. For me, I needed somthing that was more permenant, so even if Tricare did offer the lap band I still would have chosen the RNY. Plus, I didn't feel to great about the idea of having a foreign object in my body. As far as the not smoking.....I used suckers. For me, my addiction was more of a "hand to mouth" fixation, so i just ate suckers like they were going out of style until eventually I quit all together. After about a month or so of not having one, if you try another, more that likely it will taste awful and make you not want to have any more. At least that was the case with me. Good luck with everything and welcome to the board.

All you have to do is have the need for them and your PCM can put the prescription in for you. Sometimes people have to have B12 shots instead of the tabs after WLS. That is just one example of the vitamins that you can get. Just call your PCM, and they can do a scrp for you
