Band to bypass yesterday



Recommended Posts

woke up feeling like a semi truck sitting on my chest... My old band tubing was tucked in behind my liver and the dr found a soft mass on my bowel near my pancreas. He sent it off for pathology but says not to worry because they don't think it's anything to worry about... Sipping fluids yesterday was awful because of nausea and pain but today I'm feeling better . Walking halls and showered . Trying to begin sipping better .

Congrats on going through it and new beginning...

Sorry you are not feeling well, I am sure it will get better... Hope the mass is really nothing to worry about... Did you have any pains or Anthony before that would indicate tubing being tucked in or the mass? Just curious...

It's interesting what they find when they go in there... I am due for revision on 13th... Hope you feel better!

Thank you both for your encouragement. The soft mass was just a rare Thing that happend while I was forming in my mothers womb, it was an extra piece of pancreas. He said he had never seen it and called in a couple of colleagues to take a look and they had never seen it either. I'm on day 3 and start full liquids tomorrow . Thankfully that semi truck moved off of my stomach yesterday and I'm feeling much better . Doing well on sipping .

I had a lot of nausea with my band and weird pains but I didn't know it was wrapped behind my liver , or if that had anything to do with the irritation I had with the band .

Glad it wasn't anything serious and that you are doing better! I am having my surgery on Friday and starting to really freak out... It's getting more real everyday.. I am scared of not knowing of what will happen and thinking of what could happen,,, but then think to myself if I will not go through with it I am sure going to regret it.

Your fears are only human . They will take great care of you ! And you'll wake up and maybe in pain but it fades fast and goes away as you walk it off. I am 5 days out and feel good as new and I'm about 14 lbs down .

Glad to know you feel so good 5 days out. By now you must be dancing in the streets! I'm nervous about the recovery, especially since a friend reminded me how bad the shoulder pain was after the lapband was done. Looking forward getting this out and the new piping done. :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
