Hello, I thought I write an update. I am doing really good lost a total of 26.5 pounds pre/post op. Have not had a fill yet won't happen until sometime in January. So I am really trying to make sure that I can either stay at the same weight or continue to lose weight. Started working, not a hard workout but walking and riding my stationary bike at least four times a week while I watch the biggest loser.

About 3 weeks after the surgery I felt a lump in my breast, called the doctor immediately and got an appointment. Yesterday I went for the mammogram and a sonogram and the doctor was a little concerned on what he saw, so he decided to do a biopsy right away. I go back today to find out the results trying not to worry until I need to worry. Glad I will no one way or another today. The funny thing is I wanted to come home and eat my comfort food which is spaghetti but Instead I came home and had a Protein drink. ????

Oh I hope it's nothing! Let us know what results you get. You are in my thoughts.

My mom had a similar situation a couple of months ago and the mass was benign. Sending up prayers for you.

Well it has been a long day. The news is not good. I have breast cancer. I am still a little surprised of course, most people are. I don't want to freak myself out, I will take one visit at a time. The breast center is really good. They are moving so fast with this. I already have an appointment with the surgeon with the oncologist and an MRI. All of these appointments are before the new year. The support from the people at the Center was great. As you can imagine most of the information that they are telling you is not making a lot of sense.

I was scheduled for my first fill 1/5, not sure about that at this point. I am going to call my doctor on Friday or Monday. I know this sounds crazy but I did so much to get to this point with my lap ban, what now. Am I in denial about the cancer why am I focused on the lap band at this point I think I still don't believe it.

My husband, son and Mom are really having a hard time. I keep telling them I will be ok. I will be a survivor with the pink shirt I'm going to be okay. One appointment at a time.

Prayers going up. Did they tell you if they caught it early?

Sending prayers. My mom had breast cancer a few years back. I went to all appointments with her. She did so well , little problems and a great outcome.

Happy new year's, everyone! Wishing each of you health, happiness, and blessings this new year. We are all on a journey this next year, even if that journey doesn't quite look the way we planned, or takes a detour or two. Hope everyone is well.
