Hello, I am scheduled to have gastric bypass surgery in a few weeks. What’s unique about my surgery is that at the same time I am having a small GIST tumor resected so I’ll be having a partial gastrectomy as well. My doctor said it will be very easy to remove and everything should be fine. Just wondering if anyone experienced this and was the surgery or recovery time longer than just having gastric bypass surgery. Thanks!
