Hey all..:) :wave: I just got a consult appt with Balboa through my PCP in Oceanside, Ca. I am a retired Air Force dependent, have Tricare Prime. I talked with Mr. Casins, who I guess schedules the appts. I have the consult with the surgeon?? I guess on Nov. 26. I asked him about how long it takes to get a surgery date after the initial consultation, and he told me usually about 3 weeks...gawd!! that would be too cool! Anyhoo....I have had bloodwork done, papsmear, getting mammogram on the 19th, just have not had a psych eval. I asked Mr. Casin about that as well, and he said the Dr. would schedule that after the initial consult. Tricare Prime is no longer involved I guess. I was looking for the referral from my PCP since the 19th of October...nothing..then about a week later I got the call from Balboa. Has anyone on these boards had rny through Balboa recently?? What were your experiences..how long did your process take after getting your referral?? I'm hoping to have the surgery done by January as I have constricting schedules with my work after that... I am so excited to be here. BTW, my daughter has had rny on 4 Sept and is 4 lbs away from 70 lbs lost! So proud and excited for her. Thanks!! Kelly in San Diego :-)
