Waiting on a certain biopsy

Hi. I'm 31m. Been having acid reflux for 4 months now. Last Saturday I had a Gastroscopy done. I got some results on the day. I have a 2cm Hiatus Hernia slyding type 3.

And a slightly jaggerd z line. Because of the acid reflux I've been having and the Hiatus Hernia and jaggard z line. I got tested for 3 extra things. 2 of them r not so serious. But 1 is for Barrets Esophagus. I'm in the UK. And my results meant to be bk no later than 8 weeks. My question is. How long dose it normally take?. Surely it is sooner than 8 weeks?. (yes I know covid). Surely my surgury would get them sooner than that.

 

I'm planning on giving it like 3/4 weeks. And then take it from there. And give my surgery a call. To see if they have them in. Not going to lie. The waiting is annoying. Anyway thanks in advance.

    I too had a gastroscopy yesterday . 
    I have got things wrong and they took biopsies of the middle and lower osephages . 
    They said the results will be back within 2 weeks . 
    your results seem along time .

    Yep. Don't hey me wrong in 2 weeks I'll call up my surgury and see if they have some results for me.

    8 weeks is crazy. I understand its not urgent. But still. That's mad. I know having Barrets dosent mean cancer. But higher risk of it. Do you have acid reflux or a Hiatus Hernia?

    Yes I do have reflux . 
    I wasn't diagnosed with a hernia . 
    I have gastritis . 
    The oesophages diagnosis is portal hypertensive gastropathy . 
    4 biopsies taken . 
    stomach portal hypertensive gastropathy . 
    we had to look these up and it sounds worrying . 
    It says it can be caused with alcohol . 
    ive never smoked or drink . 
    Feel very confused at the minute and I'm tempted to ring to see before the 2 weeks to explain the diagnosis .
