Thank you. I am thinking everyone of the family (but me) will be surprised that it is going to take a little more out of her than they expect. They think it is just poke three little holes and snip it out. they don't understand pumping the stomach full of air will move the organs around.....and they will be poking and prodding with their tools too. Not too mention a general anesthesia and tubes down her throat....the bloating/constipation. I just read on another site about a lot of people's experiences. She is a tough little cookie.....that is how she went two weeks with so much pain before she got down really bad and decided to go to the doc. I see you are from the PNW...me too, central Oregon. She was in the hospital in Corvallis....not impressed there!
