Hi, I was just wondering if anyone else has had to do an upper GI scope in Ottawa during their process, and if so, how long did it take to get back the results? My scope is scheduled for next friday and OWMC won't schedule my surgery class until the r

I was just wondering what the time lines were like for you? I was referred for my study in Nov 2014, got the test done in Jan 2015, and got my results last week. I'm told I'll have to go back in for a consultation with the docs and potentially get a C
