Bump in the road

In my preop labwork my liver function was high. Ultrasound shows some fatty liver but also something else. I'm told a cyst, hemangioma or cancer.

Now I'm getting an MRI next week to determine if I need a biopsy. I'm scared to death. Trying to stay positive but I don't even want to pursue my sleeve surgery until I know what's on my liver.

I was supposed to get my surgery date this week I go in Thursday am and I don't know if I will keep my appointment. I was so sad this weekend thinking of everything. Now that it's happening this bump in the road....I'm a single mom who put off WLS because of the risks and scared of surgery complications.. My son deserves better. Finally put my mind to it and now I'm just a wreck!

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28. Keep the Faith, nothing is too big for God!

I am so sorry you are going through this. It is indeed a scary place to be. But I don't think you should totally give up on your WLS plans before you know your diagnosis. It won't hurt to go to your appointment and discuss your situation.

I am sending you healing thoughts.

I had an MRI today. I already got an email from the Dr. Saying that I need another one a different kind. I'm still scared but my surgery for sleeve is set For Oct 2. I have one last appointment with my surgeon and a POST OP nutrition class the same day. I pray the liver thing is nothing . I waited so long for WLS and to be healthy ... will know more after next MRI test I guess. Hope it's soon.
