Hello From The New Guy

[grownazzkid 206]

Just had my initial consultation with True Results in Austin, TX. So beings my journey. Want to also thank everyone in advance here since has been my primary source of information with regards to deciding to undergo WLS, and specifically to go with Lap Band.

Based on my roadmap my surger date will be in March 2013... seems so far, but I imagine time will go quickly.

Anyone else here been to the True Results in North Austin? I have BCBS Fed insurance which will cover based on my BMI, but I am not sure what my total out of pocket will be.

I'm in Cedar Park...However, I am not going through True Results. I have my 2nd appointment tomorrow. Tenatively scheduling surgery early November. I am a cash patient so I don't have all the roadblocks that insurance provides. Good luck to you! Would love to follow your progress!!!

I am fed BCBS also. If you have "standard" it is 15%. depending on what your doctor ordered for prep tests and the cost of surgery will make a difference. I paid about $2500 when all said and done. The hospital and surgeon let me make payments. I have only had one fill and it was covered by my surgeon with the first 90 days.

The time will fly by! Are you going thru the mandatory classes? If so, you will learn a lot.

Hang in there!
