My 1st appointment

...went great. I really liked Dr. Lucktong. There was some paperwork of course. Then I did a test for some bacteria in the stomach (which was negative). We then met as a group with the Dr..There was about 5 of us. Afterwards I met with the Dr and asked a few questions. He was not pushy at all, gave me lots of things to consider. He then did his paperwork and the nurse came back in to let me know what additional tests I needed. She is submitting this to insurance today and should have an answer in 24-48 hours. This surprised me. I thought you had to do all your test 1st, then submitted to insurance.Sooooo. I guess I'm on my way. I'm excited and still a little scared. Penny

That's wonderful!  Best of luck with the insurance...you are on your way! Cindy
