Losing weight & finding other alarming things.

So last night I'm getting ready for bed and felt a large lump on my sternum. Right above my breasts.

I called first thing this morning and they fit me in this afternoon. It measures 3cmx 1 cm. I have to go for a sonogram to rule out anything serious. She thinks it is a lipoma. She said it could've been there for a long time but now noticeable since I've lost 25 lbs. ????

I hope it isn't serious, but it would be funny if it was a rib you have not felt in years. ;-) Keep us posted.

I definitely haven't felt my ribs in years. ???? This is too far up for that.

Sorry you are going through this hopefully it is a lipoma. I have a couple on my stomach and a few on my legs. I also had a lump in my breast that turned out to be gristle!

Thank you everyone. Hopefully the results won't take long. I'm going in the morning for the sonogram.

Update :). I went for my sonogram today. The technician was a little alarmed at what she saw so she brought the radiologist in the room for him to look at this. Good news.. Apparently it is just scar tissue from a surgery I had as a child 30+ years ago. He wants me to repeat the test in 6 months just to be sure it hasn't gotten bigger.

Great to hear! I also had something unexpected found due to this path...and like you turned out to be a benign tumor. A relief and also a little confirming that I'm making the right choices...

I was relived but it was also an ah-ha moment. I knew losing weight would be life changing I just wasn't expecting to have to relearn my bodies bumps and lumps lol

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
