Default Tricare Standard Approved and got my surgery Date.

Im soo exited and anxious and nervious. But at last i will have a tool to help me lose some more weight, I have POCD, and i have a cloting disorder and all kind of medical predispositions due to family medical history, Not sure if my hubby stands fully by my choice here at times it feel like he is at time he gives me all kinds of reasons why i should not get it done.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Diane,

What kind of clotting disorder do you have (if you don't mind my asking)? I have Factor V Leiden and am wondering if it will be much of an issue for my surgeon. I've been told by the nurses that many other people have had the surgery with clotting issues, that they just take extra precautions. Just curious how everything is going for you.

Congrats on getting your surgery date! I have my consult April 2 and will get an official date then. I am excited and nervous!
