sleepingbeauty30 9 Posted October 11, 2017 I passed my classes, I did the psychiatric visit, I now have to have tube put down my throat to check my stomach before surgeon will send letter to the insurance company. I m scared because I don't want any tube going down my throat. Lol. It's nerves. I just hope my insurance approves it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMC blogger 38 Posted October 11, 2017 I’m assuming the tube is your upper endoscopy? You’ll be fine. I did mine early on because I was having a lot of issues with my GERD. In one minute and out the next. It was my first time under so I was nervous too. Now I’m in the same waiting game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also was just treated for bacteria growth in the intestines. I know having this surgery will help me in many ways. So keeping my fingers crossed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnnaKarenina 11 Posted October 12, 2017 I just had mine last Friday. They gave me something in an IV. I remember the Dr coming in the room and asking me how I was today and then I woke up in recovery. I have all of my tests done and they are submitting to my insurance at the end of the week and then I have to wait up to 30 days for Blue Cross. The waiting sucks. 1 BMC blogger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Praying for you everything goes right. I did my blood work too. That they requested. I m not sure if the dr wants to perform : colostomy too. I hoping I don't remember thing either regards to endoscopy. Did you have to take drug test too? They want one me to take one. I will. I don't smoke or do drugs.
