To be honest I do not feel comfortable getting surgery where I am currently stationed due to the circumstances and the amount of medical expertise here. I was reading online about medical tdy what it states that they would be able to send me to my home town to get the surgery does anyone know the process on this? I&#39;ve been fighting back and forth for 7-8 months just to get them to even properly asses me and figure out what is even wrong with me. Any help or advice is appreciated TIA.

It&#39;s not cost effective to just send everyone to any place they want to go. There needs to be need for you to be referred away from where you are, for instance the area you are lacks the specialists to perform your surgery. Because of your location, if there is a lack of specialists, you&#39;ll be sent to Tripler in Hawaii on medical TDY for your surgery.<br />Alternately, you could just wait till you&#39;re stateside to continue treatment.

So if the medical treatment facility has the capability you are not going to be sent TDY.
