I thought that the surgery for weight loss would surely save my life. It has, but in a way I didn't think possible.

While in surgery, my doctor found a tumor on my stomach. He said I was very lucky that he was in there while it was small. Most people don't know about tumors/cancer until it is kinda too late. Can you even believe it?

My surgery has given me all that much more reason to get healthy so I can live a long life!

Wow! You are so fortunate! I hope that the early detection will bring a you a full recovery

Wow! That sure was a blessing in disguise. Did they send the tumor to be biopied? Did they remove all of it? Were they still able to do the lapband?

Yip, he cut that puppy off and it went to the lab. I guess when that kind of tumor grows it is usually cancerous.

Still got my band.. I was a happy camper at my post op appointment!
