Hello from Missouri

Hello all!

I am new here and looking to be banded. Unfortunately, my biggest delay is my insurance. I have Tricare, a military insurance. They do not cover the band. However, I am looking at it as more time to get better informed on the surgery and pros and cons. I am also establishing some of the habits that one must live by post band. If anyone can be of any help or any suggestions, I would love it! Also, anyone have any new information about Tricare, I would love that as well.

Thanks and God bless!

Hi DDSW go to the Insurance forum and do a search on Tricare. It might give you some useful hints. I know people talk about it there.

Congrats and hope things go smoothly for you.

Myra
