Thanks! If I live, I've got important goals that need to be addressed!

You are too funny, you sound like my husband. I don't want the state to get custody of my dogs either. My husband thinks I am nuts that I am not worried about the procedure, I am worried about leaving my dogs. I have to travel 5 hours so my husband will not be home at night.

BTW the important question to ask the surgeon is if they will perform the operation in its entirety. I was not open to being a teaching case with this, though I did let students check out the results during rounds.

Good point. I always tell the surgeons when I have surgery that residents may watch but no touch. My doc will be doing the surgery herself since I have severe gastroparesis and I have a gastric stimulator. I also have a lot of adhesions due to open abdominal surgeries. Hopefully this surgery will take care of the gastroparesis for good.

This board could use some moderation.

I felt the same way you did, you're not going to die but it will hurt like hell.
