Here's another way to look at it:
* You've already had the flu so you won't have to worry about picking it up as much.
* Whatever weirdness is going on with your menstruation...endometrial and ovarian cancer risk increases with obesity...the bad period might be God or the universe or whatever telling you to DO the surgery because you carry additional risk by being heavy.
* Obese people are more at risk for illnesses of all kinds. If you have problems being sick all the time....staying heavy probably won't help you.

Whatever you decide, best wishes.

Only you can decide if you should have WLS. Just know that WLS is a tool. You still need to work with it. Sorry you are having so many doubts. Good Luck in whatever you decide.

This is my personal opinion only. If I was in such doubt, I would wait. Wait another 6 months until you’re sure of your decision.

You can ask for the radiologist's report and read for yourself what it says.
Might be something completely simple, might be something more serious. Best to get it checked out and be sure.
I know it's enough to ruin your day. Been there. I flunked my upper GI x-rays...they came back abnormal and I had to get an endoscopy where I had to be sedated. I learned I have chronic gastritis....which isn't any big deal, but they needed to take biopsies of my stomach to make sure I wasn't carrying the ulcer bacteria and start treating it before my surgery.
Your lung issue might be something as simple as a weird scar artifact from an old case of bronchitis, or something as complicated as a mass. Only way to know is to have it checked out. Either way....you know and can move forward to the next step in taking care of your health.
Sorry about the stress and frustration....I know it's hard.
