I'm very bitter. All my pre-operative testing cleared, EXCEPT the upper endoscopy. Now I have to out of pocket ANOTHER $650. Ruined my day

I agree! Just venting. It just seems there is ALWAYS an additional/hidden cost that the office failed to mention. I'm out of pocket and have pulled $$$ out of every corner to pay for this. Not many corners are left. Thankfully, all I have left is my final meeting with the dietician and I'll get my date. Thank you for for the pick-me-up
