Any regular readers will know that I have had some serious stomach issues for a few years now, that have prevented me from eating and keeping food down. This has become much worse over recent months, to the point that all I have been able to eat for 12 months now is smooth soups and milk.

I have been on a surgery waiting list for 6 months and finally this week my number came up. I have been advised that my surgery will be on Tuesday February 24 in Melbourne.

Even though, I’m a bit concerned about the surgery, at the same time, I am quite excited at the thought of getting this problem fixed at last.  Lately my energy levels have been low, even though I’ve still been able to do all the exercise and cycling that I would normally do.

My recovery time is expected to be about a month, which concerns me a bit, but hopefully the result is good and I am back exercising and doing what I do as  quickly as possible.
