From my first doctors appt. to surgery was 1 1/2 months, I think 2 1/2 wks of that was waiting on insurance approval and getting all my tests done. I have UHC and was very pleased with their quick response.

How long did you guys have to wait for an approval?

I also went through True Results in Richardson and have BCBS of IL, and once my info was submitted to them for approval, it only took 1 week to get the approval.

I had my surgery on 10/7 and everything has gone smoothly.

I had my first fill at the TR aftercare last Wednesday, and it didn't hurt at all. It only took about 30 minutes from the time I arrived at the office, until I was walking out to my car.

Good Luck to you, and keep us posted on your journey!

It took abou 2 weeks for me to get approved from the time I went to the seminar to hearing from insurance. I'm getting banded on the 25th, the surgeon who is doing mine was booked till then. :unsure: Other wise I could have been done over a month and a half ago, the waiting on the surgery has sucked as well. :w00t:

Good luck again, we're all waiting to hear good news. :wink2:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
