Hi There,
My name is Kassandra I'm a 26yr old SAHM to my almost 3yr old. I just have recently going to my primary doctor for an approval to get the gastric bypass surgery..I'm in the early stages of it. I have been a approved for a consultation but I have to go to a seminar on the 13 or 15th Of October first...I'm am trying to get this surgery done through Tricare..So far it's progressed in a good amount of time...I got my blood work back showing I have high cholesterol Sooo don't know if that's going to help or hinder my approval. My stats are I'm 5'3 210lbs I hope to meet new people going through the same experiance or that already have. I really hope that I will be showing after pictures soon enough...This surgery would do wonders for my quality of life...All I can do is forge on and pray.

Welcome to TT Kassandra. There are quite a few of us around here who have either had surgery done through Tricare or who are trying at the moment (myself included).

Best of luck to you!
