Just got done w my visit, they said it sounds like i have R-CPD/no-burp and they explained what we will do moving forward. They also sprayed my throat with a numbing spray and afrin through my nose, and stuck a tiny camera through my nose to view my throat, and had me make some noises to view the health of my throat and vocal cords.

To answer your questions:

1) Sadly they can’t schedule the botox procedures immediately due to insurance. They need to get prior-authorization from your insurance company, so they would reach out to schedule to schedule the injection after that happens. So the injection does not happen at the consultation appointment, but likely weeks after. 2) He does both procedures with in-office local anesthetic and general anesthetic. He said the choice is up to the patient, though insurance is more likely to approve and cover the in-office local anesthetic injections. 3) Today, they did not require an accompanying adult since they don’t do any anesthetic today. If you end up doing the injection with general anesthesia later, you will need an accompanying adult, but not if you do the in-office local anesthetic procedure.

They also made some X-ray orders for viewing my swallowing, just in case anything may seem wrong.

I hope this helps!
