Yes, I realize it's possible to make things worse with each successive surgery. However, since it got to the point of daily vomiting and inability to keep even liquids down my gullet, I wasn't willing to wait any longer. To my mind, my condition had devolved into a life or death situation with me slowly starving to death. Then the utter hopelessness and frustration of trying to find a surgeon willing to help me. So far since the surgery, I'm doing pretty well. Still have some pain in the URQ, but at least I can eat normally and have gained back much of the weight I lost during the past few months.

Everybody's body and life is different, and for myself I doubt I shall ever subscribe to the "no surgery at all ever again" attitude. Pain alone can be dealt with; but constant nausea and vomiting - nothing helped it.
