Okay so things aren't going so well on the Tricare paying for plastics events in my life!!! So after my last posting, the lady from the main European office contacted me again and she informed me that I had actually been DEINED for the breast surgery!!! She and I were both in shock that I had been denied yet a surgery was still scheduled!!!! Needless to say, that was a real blow, I was so upset I cried. If I would have just been denied from the jump, it would've been one thing, but to have been lead to believe that I was approved, have had surgery scheduled only to find this out, it was not cool. So I figured screw it, Ced is getting his yearly reenlistment bonus next month, so I went ahead and called the doc in Frankfurt to set up an appt for my breasts. The Tricare lady also wanted to know why I hadn't tried for a tummy tuck and I told her that I was told I was approved for it as well, and she said no paperwork had even been submitted for it!!!! I told her I had made the appt w/ the surgeon, so she rushed the referral for the tummy tuck. I had my appt w/ him on Saturday and am very pleased with him. He did say that he didn't think that Tricare would approve me, because he has NEVER had any tummy tucks approved through Tricare, but we should still try since they paid for my WLS (I also had been previously told by a Tricare rep that because they paid for my WLS they would automatically approve me for tummy tuck~I guess we'll SEE LOL). I am going to have the Lift, Augmentation, and TT done at the same time and if Tricare approved me for the TT, my breasts will be around $3000-3500!! If not, all three procedures will cost me $7,000. I was lucky enough to have been told about this doc. He did all of his certifications in America, he does Dollar for Euro (the Euro rate is KILLING the doc, so if he didn't do that, it would've been WAY more) and he was very open and honest about his issues in the past (how many ppl w/ infections he's had, etc.) Keep me in your prayers please cause I would much rather pay $3000 than $7000, but even $7000 for all three procedures is GREAT!!!!

On another note, I, for some reason, have gained like 7 lbs out of no where in less than a WEEK!!!!! I don't know what the hell is going on, but I am NOT happy about it!! Just thought I'd share :)
