After my med course for gastric esophagitis is done. should i undergo an endoscopy again to make sure my issue is completely treated? (gerd)

ProbablyNotButMaybe: Generally it's a good idea for the doctor to have a look- see to make sure all is healed and nothing nasty remains. But, at your age it would be highly unlikely that you'd have developed anything nasty so the doctor may wait and see how it goes for several months or even years, especially if you have no more symptoms or medications take care of them over the long run. Also remember: healthy diet!
