A bump in the road to my VSG :(

Just got a call from my doctor telling me that my upper GI barium swallow yesterday, revealed a duodenal polyp. I have to get an endoscopy to evaluate it before they will go through with my VSG. I'm not particularly worried about it (although I'll feel better when they TELL me that it's ok), but I am concerned that I'll have to have my VSG date pushed back. I've been on this frigging liquid diet for 6 frigging days and I have 2 more weeks to go and don't want to start all over again. I just want to get it over with. I'm conflicted enough about getting this surgery (still feel like I ought to be able to do it on my own- yeah, I know). It's just discouraging. Thanks for listening! :biggrin0:

Sorry to hear about that. My endocrinologist told me today after some bloodwork results she wants to work with me and wait about 3 months and we can talk about surgery again. My thyroid is suddenly extremely low. She wants to resolve that before she lets me have the surgery. So I understand how you feel. Take care.

You too, Stephanie. My husband points out that at least with all of this testing, we are getting our pre-existing health issues detected and addressed. Keep me posted!

Sorry to hear your news - when are you having the evaluation done - fairly soon I hope.

Fingers crossed for you and your date not changing,

Keep us informed
