Tess...I know what you mean. I live in the country and I have to drive quite a distance to the classes and support group. But in a few months we will be back to the city.

Tina! Have fun in Europe. I am so jelous!
Melissah- Thanks for sharing your experiences about the support groups. Every since you posted your comment I have been searching for one locally. I am really going to be looking full speed after surgery.

What do they do in an upper GI. You drink barium and they take EX-rays? I have never had test done. Never been to the hospital or had surgery for anything other then when I had my babies. This is all gonna be new to me.

I loved the beginning of the show! I think it used to run on Nick at Nite with Mr. Ed

I can't believe Home Improvement and other shows from when I was little run on there now

The upper GI sucked big time. I was given some stuff to make me burp and then told not to burp. That was hard. Then they gave me some nasty stuff to drink. The test keep coming out incomplete so he kept repeating it making me drink more and more. Now I'm home and can't stop burping and my stomach hurts.
