    Hi everyone,

    They stopped my endoscopy today halfway through as I still had too much food
    in my stomach, even with following doctor's orders. So the day before
    it'll be nothing but beef broth the whole day to make sure my stomach is
    empty.

    The good thing is that they said my esophagus looked normal so it's unlikely
    I have EoE but they can't be fully sure until they get a biopsy. I'll go in again in a month.

    Sean,

    Bummer.

    The good thing is that they said my esophagus looked normal so
    it's unlikely I have EoE but they can't be fully sure until

    I hope they don't bill you a second time.

    Don't be like the woman, preparing for a colonoscopy, and she felt
    that "Vodka was a clear liquid". She went into cardiac arrest during
    the procedure, and they had to stop the colonoscopy, and use CPR on
    her. She ended up having to do the prep work again, and paying the
    full cost the second time.

    It's the VA; I don't pay anything for the procedure.
