I had my appt with the surgeon today. He was a really cool guy (for a man I'm going to pay to cut me open).
In any event, as expected, surgery is the recommended treatment plan. Luckily I'm a candidate for laparoscopy instead of the traditional procedure. (four tiny incisions, overnight in the hosp. vs. great big incision week in the hospital.)
I'm scheduled for surgery on March 12.
I'm as anxious as hell, but they give you a lot of medication up front to "relax" you ...
