Surgery Aborted mid-course because of Tumor

So like it says, I had my vsg surgery this morning. Everything was smooth and normal before in all the prep stuff. But when I woke up, they told me they hadn't done the sleeve because they had discovered a 3-4in mass near my stomach. They won't know what it is until pathology comes back. I was discharged and unsure what will happen next. If benign, I might get to have my vsg later in the month. If cancer, well... Back to Protein shakes for another couple weeks :/ more waiting.

Oh no! That is so scary! Praying for you that it comes back benign and you can have your surgery rescheduled.

I'll be praying for you

Oh no I'm so sorry prayers coming your way

Thanks. Not sure how long it will be before I hear something. But for now I'm in quite a bit of pain - and no sleeve :/ Not my ideal situation. Trying to stay positive and forward looking.

They did put me back on the schedule for surgery again in a couple weeks - in hopes that the report will be favorable and allow for us to continue. I see the surgeon again in one week from today.

To wwboy - I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh wow, so sorry to hear that. Did you have an EGD and X-ray done prior to surgery? Was it outside of the areas they typically check? I would be freaking out big time. Hope you get some answers soon. Sending good vibes your way.

I didn't have either of those tests before. Not sure why exactly. Maybe my age (34) and lower bmi? Going to have a follow up ct scan soon I think. Still no report back from the pathology.
