Approved by BCBSTX

[ladyperro2 10]

I received my approval letter over the weekend. It didn't clearly state an approval or denial so I called the insurance company and they confirmed that I had indeed been approved. Now, im waiting to be scheduled for an upper endoscopy and gallbladder ultrasound. Has anyone already had these done? Is it as bad as it looks on you tube?

I'm scheduled for endoscopy this morning I'll let you know

Very quick procedure don't remember anything. Prep ekg leads blood pressure and oxygen not sure if that's normal or because I have asthma and snore at night. Don't remember falling asleep but when I woke up my daughter was in the room with me 20 minutes later. When they say make sure you have a driver, that's what's needed. Those med have me sleepy. I was given Versed

^{I too have BCBSTX. How long did the approval take once submitted by your surgeon? And do you have a surgery date yet? Just trying ot better understand the timeline...}

[ladyperro2 10]

It took less than 10days to get the letter in the mail. I probably could have found out sooner if I called them.

My surgery date is feb 10th. They offered me Jan 20th but I wanted to Celebrate my birthday on feb 1st without restrictions
