Long story short, I went for my 6 month Post Pulmonary Embolism check up so I can get off my Pradaxa and had a CT Scan last Monday, which was 10 days post Lap Band surgery. The paperwork read: "There is an unusual 4.4 x 2.7 cm lobulated focus of soft tissue density in the gastric lumen, abutting the lap band, of uncertain etiology - could represent a polypoid lesion in the stomach." My Hematologist failed to mention this, which totally angered me because she's also an Oncologist and the place that I was at was a Cancer Center! So, polypoid lesions could mean cancer, right? They should freaking mention it?!

Anyways, tomorrow my surgeon will be seeing the disk of pictures from the CT Scan that I picked up today. I looked at it myself, of course I have no idea what I'm looking at, but can you tell anything from this picture, or do you have to know how to read the other blob looking ones? Lmao. Ugh! It's killing meeeee!

Thanks for asking! I dropped the disc off today, hopefully I'll know more soon! Just trying to keep my head up and believe that if there was something out of place, especially that large, that my surgeon would of seen it when he was in there!

Just talked to my doctor! It was just irritation and what she the other lady saw was part of the band! Over a week of worry, I feel a million pounds lighter right now! Lol.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
