Well I started this journey 2 years ago when I attend a seminar and just couldnt pull the trigger. I started again this april and did all the test to include a organ ultra sound (all of them) and a upper GI, sleep study, and finally the blood doc. I have a blood clotting factor and will need product before and for 7 days after according to the blood doc. My surgeon and blood doc said there is very little blood loss during the operation. Now the insurance stated to me on the phone that they would have no problem with the surgery and believe it or not was disapproved by the hospital due to the cost of the product. (They are a "for profit" hospital), After going back and forth with the hospital CFO Im still in limbo....I was suppose to get the surgery on the 20th and Aug. so you can see why I seem to be mad. I might have to move the surgery to another hospital which my surgeon isnt at and find a surgeon to do this. Hoping for the best!
