Next hoop

Tomorrow morning I have my upper endoscopy. The purpose of this is to check for any problems with the esophagus or stomach which would contraindicate the surgery. Any ulcers, erosion, scar tissue or possible cancerous or pre-cancerous areas would need to be treated before the Roux-en-y could be done. I have been treated for gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD for several years with Protonix. Since I have been on disability I have not had any symptoms of the GERD . I attribute this to the lack of stress which usually is present at my job.
