busybeingme 112 Posted March 23, 2013 Hi just to give an update: I was not able to be sleeved. they found a stomach mass and nodules on my liver and spleen. So far this surgery saved my life... Ok that's the happy note. The part I'm really P'd off about is my biggest fear came true when I woke up and was told it could not be done at this point. My surgeon is AWSOME and said in 2-3 months we can try again! He removed the mass since it was right where he needed to makeup sleeve. We are wiring in pathology to come back on the nodules and I have to have a liver biopsy today... I'm scared out of my mind. The mass was not cancer thank God! Just trying to figure out what the other things are! I hope everyone is doing well' one day ill see you on the other side of thin' 1 AJJohnson6 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am happy you are going to get the lipid panel done. Can you think of anything that might have contributed to "the yellow eyes"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
