Surgery was this morninng. Was canceled half way though.



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled for surgery this morning and everything seemed to going great. Other than one day early in my 2 week liquid diet, I was perfect. All of my pre-addmission testing came back great. When I work up from the surgery though, my doctor told me they had to abort the surgery because when they went in they found a mass on my ovary. With all the drugs in my system all I could say was ok. Seems so stupid now, but I asked no questions. Now 12 hours later and no more drugs in my system I have a ton, but they sent me home.

On one hand I am so dissappointed my weight loss journey was put on hold but on the other hand I am extremely thankful that this was caught since I had not one system. Another twist of good luck is my mom is a maternity nurse so she is pulling some strings to get me seen ASAP to see what the mass is. Hopefully it is just a cyst and I can get it fixed and re-schedule my surgery.

Bummer on the surgery but I am glad they noticed this now rather than later. Best of luck and hope it is nothing. ????

I am so sorry to hear that. Its disappointing but glad they caught it early. Hopefully its nothing and you can re-schedule your surgery. My surgery is scheduled the 18th, I have an appt tomorrow to see the surgeons. I hope all goes well. I have heard stories where mid-way through surgery they notice something and have to abort surgery. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Maybe I'm not as educated as I thought I was, but how in the world did they go near your ovary when conducting a vsg surgery?

I am so sorry about that Kristin! But thank God they spotted it. I pray everything is okay and it's just a cyst. I have one on my left ovary thats just hanging out not causing any problems but I get it checked as often as I get my pap checks done.

Your journey hasnt ended, just a meer delay for a very good reason. Stay positive and dont worry too much.

I am sorry to hear your surgery was postponed and that you are disappointed. But, I have to believe your surgeon only had your health and safety in mind when he made the decision. It is a blessing that the mass was found. I hope and pray that it is something that can be treated easily and safely. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Sending hugs and prayers.

That is so scary! I hope it turns out to be nothing serious and they can get you rescheduled for surgery soon!

I was diagnosed with uterine cancer about 2 months before I was supposed to have the sleeve. Not quite as dramatic as finding it during surgery though! Just wanted to say I'm so sorry to hear that, but hopefully your doctors will take excellent care if you and this is just a speed bump for you. A hysterectomy cured my cancer, and I am rescheduled for Dec 14. Im not going to lie, though... My biggest fear is waking up and finding out they aborted surgery because they found something else. Xx praying for you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
