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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
