I got my EGD at Houston True Results , now what?



Recommended Posts

The wait is killing me. I'm going thru True Results in Houston. My surgeon is Dr. Reilly. I had my EGD the other day. I thought I would find out my surgery date after my EGD. Well they didn't tell me anything. I was told to call back late to find out what's next. I'm so anxious I can't stand it. So has anyone else went thru True Results? How long is the wait from EGD to surgery?

I am going thru true results Houston. They told me you have you have an insurance approval before scheduling the surgery. How many supervised visits do you have left ?

I haven't had any supervised visits. I have a BMI over 40. I called my insurance company a few weeks ago and found out I'm approved for WLS surgery.

Who is your insurance company? I would talk to whoever your advocate is and let them know you're already approved. You need to have the approval in writing for them to schedule your surgery.

I talked to my advocate when I found out my insurance adopted my WLS surgery. I'm going to try and get in contact with my advocate tomorrow. I hate the waiting game.

The pre-op diet has been hard, but not as hard as I imagined. I've lost 10lbs so far. I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch. I eat a chicken or beef salad for dinner. I can only have 4oz of chicken or beef with my salad. I can't wait to get the surgery. I've started having second, third and fourth thoughts about it. I'm going to do it, it's just reality is starting to hit me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
