A member asked:
Had endoscopy and tissue biopsy of stomach; surgeon says he saw "congested" areas; what does this mean? (biopsy results are not in yet)

Not sure: from that description of the results, it is not clear what was seen. You need to wait for the results of the biopsies and a discussion with the endoscopist, to clarify it, once the results are back. It doesn't sound like anything ominous though. Good luck.
