Not sure that I'm posting my messages right here, but I'll try. Thanks Kimberly for the warm well wishes. I had my preoperative testing on December 21st and they were all a piece of cake. I had been worried about the EGD but it was nothing, very simple and quick. All my tests turned out fine. Now I'm just waiting for S-day. :o) I'm not nervous at all at this point, just very excited.
