You may want to post this on the Plastic Surgery Forum - there may be more people there who have Tricare and can help you out.

I had PS but have BC/BS. Their requirement was to have a panni that extended below the pubic bone and to have lost a "significant" amount of weight due to WLS. All insurances are different - you may need to give them a call.
