So after two weeks of liquid diet' date=' prepping and planning for support and care for myself and my kids, as well as prepping myself mentally for this surgery, I woke up from anesthesia with no sleeve.

They found a tumor in the base of my stomach. I have to see a gastroenterologist and have a biopsy done. Once everything is ok and the tumor is removed I can proceed with the sleeve.

I'm sad, disappointed. I cried so much in the hospital, the nurses were so nice to me.

Good news is the surgeon said that from the look of it, it looks benign. Im calling the specialist tomorrow to see how soon they can get me in. Hoping for the best![/quote']

I am so sorry they were not able to do the sleeve for you but glad that they found the tumor. Looks like on time. I hope that you can be sleeved soon and your journey can begin!

I truly am sorry that you were not able to complete your surgery. I am sure this will all work out for you and everything happens for a reason. I know you don't want to hear someone say that right now but it is true. Hang in there and keep the faith!! I wish you the very best outcome with your stomach and your sleeve procedure!!

Thank you everyone for the support. It still feels so surreal. I can't believe it didn't happen, but I need to focus on the other aspect and hopefully be sleeved soon. Thanks again!

Fantastic!!! When you call the coordinator; Don't forget to ask for the two for one operation special pricing! They could do both operations with one anesthesia, one operating room, and heck the same five small laparoscopic incisions - just different specialist surgeon teams - one recuperative hospital stay, all obvious savings!

Good Luck with your sleeve do-over!

This is the classic dark cloud - silver lining scenario! if you weren't going to get sleeved it could have been years before you had symptoms from your little unwanted guest. fingers crossed for a good outcome, quick recovery and a sleeve asap. :) janet

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
