thanks i feel ok right now. i am just unable to sleep due to all the tubes hooked up to me. tomorrow will be better as the tubes will be removed. thank god!!!

Can you tell me what 200% of my body weight would be.  I'm 5'5 and weigh 215lbs.  I'm not sure if I have any comorbidities so I'm trying to figure out what it would be without them.

Thanks for your help in advance,
JoAnna :)

Hi,
 I was wondering DId you have yours on a Military Base. If so, do you still need the 6 month thingee?
I recentally found out that Womack Army Base in Fort Bragg, has room to take me, Shocker that was for me, did not expect the base to have room for civi's. any suggestions or from experinces with Tricare or the Base would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks Donna

I dint have my surgery on base. Also I didnt have any 6 month or any other requirement other than being 100 lbs overweight with a co-morbidity the other option is 200% of your body weight with or without a co-morbidity. If you have tricare prime you can go to a civilian surgeon. I dont live near a base so I went to a civilian doctor which is my preference anyway.

Thanks for getting back to me. It is my preference too However, the base had room for me so according to tricare if the base has room for me that is where I have to go. They impressed me when I went for all my OB and the birth of my son, so hopefully this will as good experience as that was.
Thanks again
Donna
