Surgery Aborted mid-course because of Tumor



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
