City: Conroe State: Texas | Awesome, I am South too, Here is the link. (Each area has their own website) You will need to create an account to access everything - I think you need yours and sponsors ss#, etc. Once you have created it, log in, (make sure to change the drop down box to Beneficiary Services), then choose: Online Referral/Authorization Status. Good Luck!

City: Charlottesville State: VA | Thanks! Since we talked I found site and registered but now I have to wait for a security code for about 10 days. I am so hoping I can get this done before it gets real hot here. Have you had the sugery yet? If so how long was your approval process? | |

City: Conroe State: Texas | I had surgery on Feb 19th. The long part was getting my Dr.s office to submit everything - once it got to Tricare, I was approved same day. :-) It will go fast, the wait is the hardest part.

City: Pass Christian State: MS | I have my first doctor appointment Thursday. The hospital says, Tricare will not pay for the fills, but Tricare says the doctor has to file for it. Any of you heard this?

City: Hampton State: Virginia | cool that you lived here! I haven't had surgery yet, because Portsmouth Naval Medical Hospital has a 6month waiting list. I am currently enrolled in prime, but to speed up the process, I am going to switch to standard. I am going to a seminar in Newport News tomorrow so hopefully I will know how long it will take to get surgery then.. It seems to me that tricare has been pretty quick with their decisions (from what i have heard from other people).. I haven't had anything to get approved by them yet. Where are you planning on getting surgery? How far along are you in the process? Like have you gone to the seminar and met with the surgeron?

City: Charlottesville State: VA | I have gone to the seminar seen the surgeron nut eval blood emmi EKG and psych eval I am just waiting on approval. I have prime I did not know standard was faster. I will have it done at Martha Jefferson Hospital here. We are not near a military facility. I had my hystorectomy done Porstmouth. My husband is retired Air Force. Well keep in touch and let me know how things are going and I will do likewise. Maybe next year this time we will be in onederland. | |

City: Hampton State: Virginia | Wow.. you are pretty much almost there!!! Hopefully your approval will come soon! Standard is only faster for me, because of the long wait at portsmouth... if i switch to standard, i will be able to go to a civilian surgeon. Tricare won't refer me to a civilian surgeon if I have prime, because I am near a MTF. Wish I wasn't though. I don't want to wait 6 mos! My husband is active duty Navy. Can't wait to make it to onderland! haha. I will add you as a friend on here so we can keep in touch!

| I just called the 1800 Tricare phone number and asked if I had gotten approval and I am glad that I did, because I called to make my appt, and the Dr I had gotten approval for did gastric bypass only, and not the Lap Band, so I was able to call Tricare back and get it switched to the right Dr. My orientation meeting at Gateway hospital in Clarksville, TN is on March 17.
