Get Results Tomorrow

By Wisdom2KnowTheDifference

· 696 views

I talked to my case manager today and she says she will get the results back from my Upper GI and Ultrasound tomorrow. I am kind of nervous because as I mentioned in a previous post, the ultrasound revealed a cyst on my kidney, and I might need additional tests. I just hope they are able to tell me something definitive about the nature of the cyst so I can relax.. or start worrying :unsure: .

 

I am also eager to go ahead and schedule my surgery if I can, so there is that, too! I want to start preparing, I have already kind of started. I have quit smoking, quit soda, cut back on caffeine. I bought some shakers at Sam's to make protein drinks in. I am also trying to be more mindful of my eating, though I am still overeating. I started off well this morning, but by lunch I was starving and went out for Mexican food with a coworker. Definitely ate too much, of course! I am so ready for this band and this lifestyle change.

    Hope everything turns out well with the test results. i have also started preparing though my surgery won't be for several more months. We are two smart cookies :) I have cut back on soda/ started drinking more water and bought some protien shakes to supplement a meal all in hopes of having an easier transition. Best of luck with everything.

    Hope your tests come back ok. I had a cyst and a hernia and had to undergo 2 endoscopies, so my date had to be postponed a couple of times. I wanted to cry each time. But just remember that the doctor has your health in mind. Also, my doc put me on a diet two weeks pre op so that my liver could shrink and harden up a bit. She said the risk of injuring your liver during the procedure decreases significantly, so I kep that in mind those two weeks pre op.

    Good luck to you!
