Found polypoid lesion during EGD

BarbaraC · April 25, 2006

I am home from my Colonoscopy and EGD procedure. The EGD was done because of my upcoming lapband surgery. During the EDG the surgeon found a polypoid lesion which is being sent for a biopsy which the surgeon did not think was a big deal. He just said that it was unusual to find one there. I glad I had this procedure and had it is removed. This lesion may have caused a problem with the band later or even worse become cancerous in the future. I will update after I get the results of the biopsy.

Gee- Is this the same thing as a polyp? If so they are usually sent for analysis, but return to be ok. Try not to worry too much.

Yeah where was it :confused:

I'll be praying that everything is ok for you.

Not sure at this time. I thought the Doc said in the esophagus but the paper work stated at the stomach antrum? Will talk to him tomorrow.

Not sure about the Polyp. I did some research but now all I have is more questions. Thanks for the prayers. I'm sure that it will turn out OK. Talk to you on Sunday. Barbara
