At this point, I am 19 years old. My symptoms are back with a vengeance. I decided that it was maybe time to start seeing a Gastroenterologist. I found a local Dr. and began meeting with him as well as his Nurse Practitioner. Right off the bat, they ordered an EGD (scope).
For those of you that have not had one of these procedures done, this involves fasting for 12 hours. You check into the hospital and get changed into a lovely hospital gown. They put an IV into an arm. When it's your turn, they take you into the procedure room and get you ready. You are hooked up to monitors that monitor your BP, heart rate, and oxygen. A mouth piece is then inserted into your mouth. An Anesthesiologist knocks you out and a few mintues later it's all over. Pretty easy procedure.
Results from scope: no abnormal findings. A 2 week follow up is scheduled.
