Im so sorry, I hope you find comfort somehow in this shocking news and pull yourself through it. I'm 25 as well and we have so much ahead of us in life, please fight! I'm with everyone else that seeking WLS was a blessing in disguise. Stay strong and please even though you aren't getting VSG right away, keep us posted how you are doing. I have read on occasion here that VSG was used before to remove stomach cancer, not sure if this is what is needed or suggested by your doctors for you. Knowledge is power educate yourself about all the options you have for your treatment, it will hopefully make you less scared knowing more about it. Chin up and start fighting!

Please keep us posted! I agree with the others...if you would not have pursuing this surgery, you wouldn't have hade an endoscopy done, and this awfulness found! This is why insurances (all of them) should cover bariatric procedures! I'm going to Mexico because mine doesn't cover it, and I know things like that won't be checked. God be with you, bless and keep you.

What an overwhelming response. Thank you all, each one of you. All these positive words are touching my heart and easing the pain. I haven't told many people, that was kind of why I vented here, but also in search of anyone who's been through this. I will fight his, for my daughter and soon to be husband. They are the best part of my life and I'm not going down without a battle. My procedure is at noon tomorrow, please just pray for me. God will hear us, and I need him to.

Tekara,

You are in our prayers honey. So many have said it, God has plans and we are not great enough to know the big picture. He often protects us and that is God, our protector. Stay strong for you and your baby girl, she needs you and know it is okay to cry, we will be there to hug you and rejoice when you are clear and on your way to good health.

I will be praying for you at 9:00 california time. Please try to stay calm and get some much needed rest tonight. Everything will be fine. Here is a little song i sing when I am getting ready to go into the ER:

Go now in peace,

Never be afraid

God will be with you each hour of everyday,

Go now in faith

Steadfast strong and true,

Know he will guide you in all you do

He will be with you and everything will be fine.

XXOO Janet

Tekara everything happens for a reason, and you are so lucky that you have the chance to save your life by discovering this accidentally. You must be devastated but take hope that you know and that means you can beat it with the help of a good oncologist. I hope and pray for your speedy recovery. Xxx

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
