Bonus surgery for sure!



Recommended Posts

So i had surgery March 22nd. During surgery my doctor found a small nodule in my stomach. He sent it for biopsy as a precaution. Yesterday i went for my first post op doc appointment. Down 18 pounds! Also found out that the results of the biopsy showed i had a tumor I'm my stomach. Absolutely no symptoms to support that, but i was told that having this surgery basically could have saved my life! Wow! That was a lot to digest for sure. I have to follow up with an oncologist but they feel very optimistic that they got it all during surgery. I'm very lucky i had this surgery. Bonus surgery!

I had the same thing happen to me it was GIST cancer, they caught it way early, all gone & no further treatment needed. Was seen @ Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo NY. Hope everything turns out as good for you as it did for me.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
