woke up feeling like a semi truck sitting on my chest... My old band tubing was tucked in behind my liver and the dr found a soft mass on my bowel near my pancreas. He sent it off for pathology but says not to worry because they don't think it's anything to worry about... Sipping fluids yesterday was awful because of nausea and pain but today I'm feeling better . Walking halls and showered . Trying to begin sipping better .

Congrats on going through it and new beginning...

Sorry you are not feeling well, I am sure it will get better... Hope the mass is really nothing to worry about... Did you have any pains or Anthony before that would indicate tubing being tucked in or the mass? Just curious...

It's interesting what they find when they go in there... I am due for revision on 13th... Hope you feel better!

Congrats Sheriberi. Wishing you a healthy recovery.

Thank you both for your encouragement. The soft mass was just a rare Thing that happend while I was forming in my mothers womb, it was an extra piece of pancreas. He said he had never seen it and called in a couple of colleagues to take a look and they had never seen it either. I'm on day 3 and start full liquids tomorrow . Thankfully that semi truck moved off of my stomach yesterday and I'm feeling much better . Doing well on sipping .

I had a lot of nausea with my band and weird pains but I didn't know it was wrapped behind my liver , or if that had anything to do with the irritation I had with the band .

Glad it wasn't anything serious and that you are doing better! I am having my surgery on Friday and starting to really freak out... It's getting more real everyday.. I am scared of not knowing of what will happen and thinking of what could happen,,, but then think to myself if I will not go through with it I am sure going to regret it.

Your fears are only human . They will take great care of you ! And you'll wake up and maybe in pain but it fades fast and goes away as you walk it off. I am 5 days out and feel good as new and I'm about 14 lbs down .

Thank goodness...the journey has now begun!

Glad to know you feel so good 5 days out. By now you must be dancing in the streets! I'm nervous about the recovery, especially since a friend reminded me how bad the shoulder pain was after the lapband was done. Looking forward getting this out and the new piping done.
