Thanks! They will be going in a cutting the median arcuate ligament. Mine is just a bit too high and the celiac artery that goes over the ligament is pinched making the stomach ischemic. My CT showed the artery starting ballon up behind where it is pinched. It will be done laproscopic with 5 holes. I will have to go back in 3 months for another CT scan to see if the artery is healed. In severe cases the artery has to be repaired, mine isn't severe. If they get in and seperate the ligament and see the artery is damaged and will need to be repaired I will have to be openend up.
