Default Approved! Approved!! Approved!!!

OMG I can't believe it!! I was approved in less than 24 hours!!! I haven't gotten the letter in the mail yet but the triwest web site lists me as approved with 4 appointments!

Within the last 2 weeks I've had so many medical related issues that this was such good news for me.

Thank you so much everyone for your good vibes!

Anyone dealt with the tricare system for WLS? I'm sure I've gota ton of questions to ask
