Tumor in stomach they removed



Recommended Posts

So had my first follow-up from surgery. had some crazy unexpected results: they found a stromal tumor in my stomach they cut out. They obviously got it all out but still want me to go to Roswell for further testing just to make sure. I may have inadvertently saved my own life by doing this, holy ****!

I feel the same way, when I had lapband almost 2 years ago, the dr (in mexico) who did my preop exam noticed my thyroid was enlarged and I had huge nodules, I ended up having thyroid cancer. Even though the band was a failure it certainly saved my life,my nodules were pressing on my windpipe, my us doctor dismissed my concerns 2 months previous.

Someone was watching out for you, I hope your well from here in our!

It was meant to be....I'm not religious but as I've gotten older I find myself getting more sure that most things happen for a reason....

Hope all turns out ok....

Oh honey, I'm so happy they found those 3 tumors during your sleeve surgery. What a blessing... Do you have to go through any more treatment or did the removal do the job?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
