So after two weeks of liquid diet, 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!

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!

It's benign!!! Calling the coordinator tomorrow to reschedule my surgery!!

So thankful for the fantastic news! I've been wondering about you. What a blessing!!

What a bummer. I hope you are seen by a gastroenterologist soon and are able o move forward with your surgery relatively quickly.

Oh that is so GREAT!!! I'm sure you feel like the weight of the world has been lifted from your shoulders!! Hopefully you won't have to do more liquid diet or at least just a little and can get

scheduled very soon! Please keep us posted with your news!!

phew....benign it is!!! Goodluck with the sleeve

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!

Good to hear that all is going to be okay!!!

Surgery is re-set for September 19th. I'm so excited! Here we go again!!!!

are they doing both at the same time?

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

are they doing both at the same time?

Yes there are doing both at the same time.
