I've got another burn this morning. Please keep me in your thoughts (Updated)

Yep, they are going down my throat and burning off more precancerous cells in my esophagus,

My biggest concern is how the last two procedures healed. The last time I was there, the dr said the first procedure didn't look too good. I won't know how the first two procedures healed until I speak with him after this one.

They'll put me under with propofal and intubate me and burn burn burn.

I just hope the dr isn't doing selfies with me during the process. LOL

If all goes well, I should be home by 1pm PST.

No Smoking, Keep the faith!

(PS: Smoking weakens the valve between your esophagus and your stomach over time and lets the acid get through and sit in your esophagus and damage it. If you have acid reflux, do not let it go untreated.)

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
