Revision covered under Tricare?

Has anyone recently been successful with a revision from VSG to RNY and who has Tricare? I have terrible GERD and am hopeful for positive feedback!

I had an appointment with a civilian doctor today and that seems to be his recommendation, but he does not know if Tricare will approve. I still have to have one more test before he sends off for approval....

Hello! Obviously every situation is different but I just recently had a RNY turned into a D-switch back in December which was covered by tricare.
