Bonus surgery for sure!



Recommended Posts

So i had surgery March 22nd. During surgery my doctor found a small nodule in my stomach. He sent it for biopsy as a precaution. Yesterday i went for my first post op doc appointment. Down 18 pounds! Also found out that the results of the biopsy showed i had a tumor I'm my stomach. Absolutely no symptoms to support that, but i was told that having this surgery basically could have saved my life! Wow! That was a lot to digest for sure. I have to follow up with an oncologist but they feel very optimistic that they got it all during surgery. I'm very lucky i had this surgery. Bonus surgery!

I had the same thing happen to me it was GIST cancer, they caught it way early, all gone & no further treatment needed. Was seen @ Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo NY. Hope everything turns out as good for you as it did for me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
