Almost there! - ThinnerTimes

I went in to meet the Surgeon today. things went great. I need to meet with thier nutrionist and social worker.

I also have to get a Upper Endoscopy with biopsy for H. Pylon and a abdominal Ultrasound

So im almost there guys!! Im excited.

They say after I get these tests done we should be good to go! I already got the approval from the Insurance so i just need to get these tests done and i think i can schedule my Surgery. (hoping in mid-May)

Does any one know how long it would take to get the Endoscopy and abdominal test done and results back to the Surgeon?

Has and one ever had a Upper Endo with Biopsy for H. Pylon done? does it hurt? whats the process??

thanx guys

Greg I am not sure how long all this may take but wanted to say congrats on making it through most of the hurdles. It can be a tough road to travel sometimes. Hang in there. Regardless how long it takes know that the hard part is over.

I had an upper endoscopy with a biopsy. It was easy. They put you in twilight sleep, which is pretty much completely out. I was fine within an hour or so afterwards. Good luck!!
