hello everyone

first i must say i am not feeling the new format of the site, i just joined and was just getting use to the way things were and wala today it's all changed. oh by the way i changed my post name to thickinphilly it use to be pennick i just officially joined on friday. anyway i think there is some type of mix up because i received a few email from people congratulating me on losing 100 pounds and i have not even been sleeved yet. i don't know if thats wishful thinking on someone part but as i said friday i am just starting my journey and have not lost an ounce yet. oh to give you guys and update i told you i had all of my pre-op testing well with my upper GI they found that i have an ucler which i'm not really sure what that means in the way of my surgery. i have to have an endocomy i think that what it's called to see what stage my ulcer is in and i guess we will go from there. that appointment is tomorrow i hope this doesn't hold me up in any way.

Welcome to the site! Like you, I have just recently joined this site. Your doctor will definitely tell you if having the procedure to treat your ulcer will hinder the advvancement of your upcoming surgery. I'm no doctor but if I had to guess I'd say no...it shouldn't be a hinderance. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow! Be encourage.
