Waiting game.

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.

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.

I've had the tube twice. Piece of cake. The worst part is swallowing the numbing spray. Best wishes.

Yes! I forgot the name of the procedure. Yes I have GERD too. 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


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.

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.
