I thought that the surgery for weight loss would surely save my life. It has, but in a way I didn't think possible.

While in surgery, my doctor found a tumor on my stomach. He said I was very lucky that he was in there while it was small. Most people don't know about tumors/cancer until it is kinda too late. Can you even believe it?

My surgery has given me all that much more reason to get healthy so I can live a long life!

Wow! That sure was a blessing in disguise. Did they send the tumor to be biopied? Did they remove all of it? Were they still able to do the lapband?

Yip, he cut that puppy off and it went to the lab. I guess when that kind of tumor grows it is usually cancerous.

Still got my band.. I was a happy camper at my post op appointment!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
