Another hurdle! Lesions?



Recommended Posts

I went today for my pre-op testing. When I got to work, I received a phone call from the Bariatric nurse. The doctor saw 6-9 milliliter lesions when he did the upper gi. They have me scheduled next Thursday for a scope so they can examine further. I have no idea what this means....if something is terribly wrong with me and this was found by accident or if everything is ok and I'll be able to get my surgery on 4/10. Please keep me in your thoughts! Hoping for the best! :)

Well, hopefully you can get the scope ASAP so there's no delay for your surgery - the surgeon needs clear idea of what he'll encounter during surgery, so the testing is more to prepare him, not to decide whether or not you can proceed with surgery.

Good luck, I hope you get good news!! ;)

      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?

      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.
