Luckily my procedure was normal and 5 biopsies taken, the results of the initial biopsies were no significant abnormalities but I have to see the GI again on Dec 1st to discuss them in more detail.
I was severely anxious, you can see my posts on the site but I am so glad I had the procedure, huge weight lifted, even though my sysmptoms are slightly better, not 100% normal I have faith that ive had the procedure and they saw nothing sinister
I am sure all will be well. Let us know what the outcome is
