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.

Your big day is coming soon! How is the pre-opt diet coming along?

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
