Hi Tara!
I'm going the hiatal hernia route with Dr. Long, too. Had my EGD at Microsurgery Institute yesterday morning. They confirmed I have a hernia when I asked in the Recovery Room. I have my follow up appointment with Dr. Long next Friday.
I'm insured with UHC and the Microsurgery Institute is out-of-network, but Dr. Nick's office said they are the least expensive route. I'm nervous that UHC will not pay, since they seem to love giving me trouble with claims ever since I met my $2,600 deductible earlier this year. (That's another story.)
Where are you in the HH/Sleeve stage?
