<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> John, Was it a biopsy of the small intestine? I have never heard of such a rigamorol. Did anyone explain the whys and wherefores of such a procedure? When I had my biopsy done it literally took about 15 minutes with just a 24 hour fast the evening before. I would be very curious to know what the reasoning is for such a complicated procedure. Cheers! Lisa Overton Guelph, ON Canada...Spring has sprung, the grass has rizz. I wonder where the birdies is?
