It only took about a week or so. Once your psych is done, you'll be on you way to the EGD! No worries!
Meanwhile, you can check out some support groups to help pass the time! LOL

Julie- I called the appointment line to make an appointment and the girl knew exactly what I was talking about, but she told me I could refer myself out and go off base as everyone has 8 visits that will be covered as long as you go to a network provider. So, that's what I did. I called a bunch of numbers off the network provider list and most of them never even answered the phone. I was starting to wonder how accurate the list on the website was. lol! But I called one at Newport Hospital and they told me 6-8 weeks. I told them if I didn't find someone who could do it sooner, I'd call back. When I couldn't find anyone who would do a wls eval or to even pick up the ringing phone, I called Newport Hospital back and another person answered and told me I could come in on Friday. So, I am going on Friday at 2pm. I'll just need my second Nut visit and my EGD and then I'm all done!
Oh and Julie, I called to see if my EGD had been scheduled yet and they told me they were waiting on Tricare to authroize it. Do you happen to know about how long it took them to authorize your EGD?

I got in the following day the same way, cancelation list. The more you call, the more they start feeling bad. I got all the pre testing done in 3 weeks.
