Thank you, Dr. Bill!!!!

In your opinion, how high are the risks of operating on someone who has had three abdominal surgeries, in addition to having had two laps for Endo? I don't know if you remember, as it has been a while, but I had a Sphincteroplasty, a Whipple Procedure and finally, a Completion Pancreatectomy with Islet Cell Transplant (the cells came from my pancreas after it was removed).

I don't want to have surgery, however, I can't do the Lupron again as it was a horrible experience. I have the bones of an 80 year old (on Forteo).....not to mention, I was in a very deep depression from it.

It is really great "seeing" you again!!
