Re: Went for my consult today.......

[Guest guest]

Hi le!

I see you are in Virgina. Two years is too long! Can you find another

facility? I got into surgery within a month after finding my WLS

surgeon here in Orange County, California. Of course, I pissed away 8

months with the first idiot surgeon I located. His office cancelled my

surgery 3 times in a month so I found a new surgeon!

Nope I can't find another doctor. I have Tricare prime and they are

not willing to give referrals to outside doctors for this. So I am

stuck having to have this done at the naval hospital......sigh......

i have tricare prime too and they would only pay for the gastric bypass. Tricare

is a real stickler on surgerys. I had to get my primary care dr to refer me to a

dr to get this surgery done.

Not sure where Ft. Eustis is, but Langley isn't far from me and Bethesda is even

closer. If you do come up this way, let me know and we can try to get together

;-)
