momof6 35 Posted July 1, 2012 Went in yesterday morning for my EGD. I told my doctor my concerns and told her how extremely emotional I am about my"what ifs". I am so glad I did. She put me at ease real fast. (Her husband is 6 Weeks post op, and is also doing very well.) I really like my Dr., she is awesome and I believe her to be very genuine. EGD, went well BTW. All that is left now is to get final approval from the insurance company. 2 TinyMamiOf3kids and Kerri1503 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
