Patience has never been my strongest virtue and now I feel like a stark raving crazy woman waiting for the phone to ring from True Results or the Surgeon's office to give me the date (I've guessed May 20th...hoping it will be sooner) for my surgery. I say I'm crazy because I went for my initial consult on Thursday (April 11) had all of the labs done and the psych exam finished by Saturday - fast, huh? Why does it feel like an eternity? My insurance will cover the procedure because of my BMI, but there is still a fear that somehow I will be turned down. Does anyone else have BCBSTX? How fast was your response time? How soon after your requirements were complete before they scheduled your surgery? Anything input helps...

Ohhhh the dreaded "patience" word. Not a strong suit of mine either but I can honestly say this whole process made me change this behaivor. I work on having more patience a little each day.....but it can make me a bit crazy as well.

I can tell you......looking back on the pre-op...I'm am glad it took as long as it did. I learned alot, found this site, and prepared myself on being a banded person.

Good luck! I am sure everything will work out just fine!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
