Found polypoid lesion during EGD

I am home from my Colonoscopy and EGD procedure. The EGD was done because of my upcoming lapband surgery. During the EDG the surgeon found a polypoid lesion which is being sent for a biopsy which the surgeon did not think was a big deal. He just said that it was unusual to find one there. I glad I had this procedure and had it is removed. This lesion may have caused a problem with the band later or even worse become cancerous in the future. I will update after I get the results of the biopsy.

Gee- Is this the same thing as a polyp? If so they are usually sent for analysis, but return to be ok. Try not to worry too much.

Yeah where was it :confused:

I'll be praying that everything is ok for you.

Not sure about the Polyp. I did some research but now all I have is more questions. Thanks for the prayers. I'm sure that it will turn out OK. Talk to you on Sunday. Barbara

Hey Barbara I'm glad to hear you had these test. It is always good to find things before they become a bother. I will be praying for your good results to come back.:hug:
