Question:
Anyone who had surgery at Madigan...

I am looking for information on the approval & surgical process for WLS at Madigan Medical Center in Ft. Lewis, Washington. I am a Navy Dependent with Tricare Prime. My PCM is at Bremerton Naval Hospital. I have heard that the wait list for WLS at Madigan is greater than 2 years. Can anyone verify this? I am interested in hearing how long some of you have waited for surgery at Madigan and if anyone went through a physician at Naval Hosp. Bremerton for referral. Thanks for any help you can give. If you can email me directly it will help me alot as I am new to this board & am still learning to navigate all it's many categories! email: [email protected] THANK YOU    — Laura B.
