Long story short, I went for my 6 month Post Pulmonary Embolism check up so I can get off my Pradaxa and had a CT Scan last Monday, which was 10 days post Lap Band surgery. The paperwork read: "There is an unusual 4.4 x 2.7 cm lobulated focus of soft tissue density in the gastric lumen, abutting the lap band, of uncertain etiology - could represent a polypoid lesion in the stomach." My Hematologist failed to mention this, which totally angered me because she's also an Oncologist and the place that I was at was a Cancer Center! So, polypoid lesions could mean cancer, right? They should freaking mention it?!

Anyways, tomorrow my surgeon will be seeing the disk of pictures from the CT Scan that I picked up today. I looked at it myself, of course I have no idea what I'm looking at, but can you tell anything from this picture, or do you have to know how to read the other blob looking ones? Lmao. Ugh! It's killing meeeee!

Thanks for asking! I dropped the disc off today, hopefully I'll know more soon! Just trying to keep my head up and believe that if there was something out of place, especially that large, that my surgeon would of seen it when he was in there!

Just talked to my doctor! It was just irritation and what she the other lady saw was part of the band! Over a week of worry, I feel a million pounds lighter right now! Lol.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
