It's kind of a "Catch 22" if done as an emergency, it most likely be an open procedure, if I can stick it out until the booked date there is a chance it will be MIS.

Please excuse the "group acknowledgement" of everyones supportive words. Thanks also to those who took the time to contact me through FaceBook.

AS long as life continues to throw those curve balls, I will continue to step to the plate and swing my bat. I would rather go down swinging than standing there watching. No regrets as without my original surgery I likely would not have made it into the stadium seatting let alone "GET IN THE GAME"

Oh, OKNEE, I am so very sorry that you've had these major complications.

That's horrible.

To have gastric polyps is unpleasant enough.
To have GERD is (as some of us know) not very nice at all.
And to have a hiatus hernia requires surgery for anybody.

But to have ALL THREE!!!???
That's terrible - poor you!
The best of luck to you - let's hope they can fix you right up.

Look on the bright side - you'll be an "interesting case" for them, and you'll get lots of medical attention! That would be a good thing, right?
