Ulcers have healed, but I have erosive gastritis.

They have also taken some biopsies for further testing of some of the infected tissue.
 
I hate the wait before hand, I always find the procedure nowhere near as bad as I anticipate it to be.

Todays was fine, the sedative works wonders :)

Ahh, I wasn’t allowed sedatives when I had mine so I almost choked to death 😑

I had the first one without, I found once I managed to get it past the tonsils it was better.

I went for the sedative this time due to nerves. I have health anxiety, so the wait for these things are huge triggers.
