Anyone have Laparoscopic WLS??

I want to hear from everyone that has had Laproscopic WLS approved through Tricare since January 2004. They are denying my daughter saying that Laparoscopic WLS is considered investigational and not the standard of care. They covered my Lap RNY a year ago and I am seeing that several on here have had their surgery Laparoscopic also with Tricare. I would also be interested in hearing from post op's that had their Laparoscopic surgery with a military MD. I truely feel that this is the safest procedure for my daughter. And if anyone has studies that can show that Laparoscopic is safter please email me at [email protected]. Thanks, Jen
