You guys will see me here a lot more starting Jan 8, surgeon is taking 7 cm where Crohn's caused scar tissue, so I can eat without having episodes of bad pain. They do it through the belly button but it's 3 weeks off work and another 3 weeks not lifting. Dealing with surgeons now, they don't tell you to have the operation, instead they stress all the negative outcomes and then ask if you want to go through with it. Liability concerns I guess. I see it like a car, when a part is bad, you fix it or it won't run well and it can cause worse problems later. Maybe I will finally tackle my Visible V8 model with all the free time coming up.
