03/19/03 -- Hello all I know I don't post much, but read the message board everyday and am truly inspired by some of the stories I have read as well as nervous by some of the others I have also read. But with anything there is a good side and a bad. Just to let you all know, I see my gastro Doctor today and will tell me that me EGD is OK and clear me for surgery. Tomorrow I see my pulminary Doctor and hope to get his clearance. Once that is done My Surgeon will give me a date. Wish me luck.
