Did I miss a previous mention of this? It sounds pretty significant. Is it for weight-loss purposes like a lap-band procedure, or to treat some kind of malady?

No, it's me being an idiot and typing the wrong thing
I'm having a gastroscopy. Utterly different. I'm sure you have experience of these.

I'm mildly chuffed because I have to be off my GORD (GERD) medicine for two weeks prior to the investigation. It's been three days so far and I haven't had any heartburn. I'm putting that down to healthy eating, weight loss and abstinence. I have Rennies on stand-by just in case.

Haven't heard yet about my trans-jugular biopsy. Just the name terrifies me, but it's far less invasive than the gastroscopy.

Gastroscopy. Just practicing it so I don't tell anyone else I am having part of my stomach removed...

Thanks everyone.
If the Quaker meeting was a still green pool for reflection, this place is a waterfall that drowns out my sorrows and forces me to become part of life again.
Because I think I have decided to live after all.
