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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
