I have a Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm that I have had since Jan of 2020, and it has only grown slightly over the past 4 years. I am due again in April to check the size. My last one was 3.9 Centimeters. I know when it gets to a 5 that surgery is required. My prayers go out to everyone who is dealing with this problem. It is not a easy surgery no matter what type you have as I have been told. For John, you mentioned that 1% of people might need surgery to the colon also. That is a small percentage. Just Trust God. If he got you to it then he will get you through it. Please keep everyone updated, as it can help others with questions.
