KimA-GA 540 Posted October 15, 2022 The EGD was easy! My team was great for it. WHen do you think you will be having surgery? 1 Tomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyGemini70 6 Posted October 16, 2022 I have no idea. I'm hoping by the end of the year but I'm not sure how long the process takes. Have you had the surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShoppGirl 5,007 Posted October 17, 2022 Hello and welcome. The length of the process varies a great deal from clinic to clinic but more so from one insurance to the other. Self pay usually have the fastest process. Your team should be able to give you some idea how long it will be though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinkt2013 74 Posted October 18, 2022 Hi! I’m on a similar path. I have my endoscopy Thursday and my psych eval Monday! I’m excited 1 kcuster83 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyGemini70 6 Posted October 19, 2022 My endoscopy was yesterday. A piece of cake! The hardest part was the IV, my veins like to hide! Nurse suggested for the actual surgery I ask for ultrasound IV help as I/we'll have 2 IV's.. The did find a hiatal hernia :( but i think everything else looked good. Will know more next week at follow-up.. Good luck on your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
