So, I've finally decided to see a gastroenterologist. My life is already in ruin, and I'm going nowhere, so what do I have to lose?Anyway, what kind of information should I bring, what kinds of questions should I ask, and what things should I try?

Hey! I just went to the docotor today. He mostly just asked me where it hurt and what it felt like when it hurt. It is really not that bad! I wish you the best of luck at the doctor! :)
