Bill, Thanks you for your kind words. I too am using tricare - and they approved me for the laproscopic gastric. They are just not approving the lap band. I also want to thank you for the wonderful website you gave me. Currently, I am going through the training with obesityhelp.com to be a moderator. I can't wait to get to the "lighter side" and start enjoying life again. Again thanks for the kind words. Lea

Hi Bill, thank you for your wonderful supportive words on my wls. I dont know if you noticed that my 3/10 date was cancelled indefinetly due to the new criteria from medicare. So upset. I checked with a surgeon in Calif. because I have family there and if all my tests are approved by them they will schedule a date for me...wahooo....and keeping my fingers crossed and praying as hard as I can. Thank you again and I will keep you updated.

Congrats on your loss! You have done an excellent job, and I'm sure that your family and friends are so proud of you. I think it's great that you continue to show your support and make your before/after pics available for people like me, who just decided to go through with WLS. Take care Bill and Have a GREAT Week. Debbie
