August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[MamaMelly 97]

I had the CT scan and because I work in a hospital the Chief of Radiology called me right away. I have a 1-1/4" mass in my upper left lung. Lymph nodes are not affected. I have a PET Scan on Friday. My last surgeon visit on Friday was cancelled. This all feels unreal. I can speculate so many things but that is not healthy. I am still hoping surgery is next week' date=' but I feel like it is slipping away. I know if it is, it will only be a temporary delay. I'll let you all know the results from Friday and soon as I can.[/quote']

I'm so so sorry!!! Please keep us posted. I just said a prayer and will continue to do so. What a blessing you had the preop to allow the spot to be found and treated immediately, no matter what it is. Try to stay positive my dear!

Carla,

Just said a prayer on your behalf. I am so sorry, but thankful that this was found! There's another lady that recently had cancer show up in her pre-optesting, and they were able to remove the tumor and she was cleared to move forward with surgery. Praying you are completely heald and that you continue on your journey toa healthier you.

Sending you big hugs!

Continual prayers going out for you. I trust that you are completely in His hands, and that He has only the best for you.

Yah! I am getting sleeved by Dr. Alvarez on the 18th so we will cross paths! I am also 5'9" but weigh 220-225. My goal weight is 145 but I have never been that weight as an adult so we'll see!!

Have a safe trip and see you in Mexico!

Jenn, I had some cheese last night too. It is a weakness of mine, for sure. I made my boys a Mexican casserole for lunch today and I did eat a tsp of grated cheese. We can't beat ourselves up over it, just have to move on

Carla, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm a Mexico sleeves, but I wouldnt venture to say that a lot of us are in the same boat. My insurance won't cover it, and the doc state side who approved me also gave me a $30k quote... I had a friend have hers done in Mexico and just loved it, so I jumped on the band wagon when all my other options where non existent

Wishing you all the best, I hope everything works out just fine. My family is saying extra prayers for you. You are in our thoughts,

Yes. You are joining my date. I'm in NYC

Hello bound4bway.... I don't live in MA, but right on the border around Albany NY.. I dont' see a lot of northeast sleevers.. anyone???

I am one of the sleevers also going to Mexico.. I work for a large well known company, so you would think I wouldn't have had to go, but Aetna has their own rules. I could wait for 2 yrs and hope for approval, or pay for it myself..

Now that you have your date, the nervous stomach is normal... don't stress!
