On the 19th of Sept, I will be going in for surgery on my achalasia. <http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/...../000267.htm>; this surgery is called a Heller Myotomy <http://gi.surgery.ucsf.edu/conditio.....yotomy.aspx>; I will be out of work for 2 weeks if they get this done laparoscopically. This will include a hospital stay of 1 to 3 days at the VA Hospital. Once this is done, I will finally be back on track to a good health.
