DOnt let one small comment discourage you. Your sharing helped me feel like I am not alone. I had pains on and off since February and have been to the doctor and er. It wasn't until an endoscopy was done that they figured out I have migration or erosion. Now I wait a week to have the doctor tell me what I know from all my research....which is I will have to have it removed. My question is when you had it removed how did you cope emotionally and diet wise. Will you proceed with any other surgeries?
