So after two weeks of liquid diet' date=' prepping and planning for support and care for myself and my kids, as well as prepping myself mentally for this surgery, I woke up from anesthesia with no sleeve.

They found a tumor in the base of my stomach. I have to see a gastroenterologist and have a biopsy done. Once everything is ok and the tumor is removed I can proceed with the sleeve.

I'm sad, disappointed. I cried so much in the hospital, the nurses were so nice to me.

Good news is the surgeon said that from the look of it, it looks benign. Im calling the specialist tomorrow to see how soon they can get me in. Hoping for the best![/quote']

I am so sorry they were not able to do the sleeve for you but glad that they found the tumor. Looks like on time. I hope that you can be sleeved soon and your journey can begin!

I truly am sorry that you were not able to complete your surgery. I am sure this will all work out for you and everything happens for a reason. I know you don't want to hear someone say that right now but it is true. Hang in there and keep the faith!! I wish you the very best outcome with your stomach and your sleeve procedure!!

Thank you everyone for the support. It still feels so surreal. I can't believe it didn't happen, but I need to focus on the other aspect and hopefully be sleeved soon. Thanks again!

It's benign!!! Calling the coordinator tomorrow to reschedule my surgery!!

Fantastic!!! When you call the coordinator; Don't forget to ask for the two for one operation special pricing! They could do both operations with one anesthesia, one operating room, and heck the same five small laparoscopic incisions - just different specialist surgeon teams - one recuperative hospital stay, all obvious savings!

Good Luck with your sleeve do-over!

This is the classic dark cloud - silver lining scenario! if you weren't going to get sleeved it could have been years before you had symptoms from your little unwanted guest. fingers crossed for a good outcome, quick recovery and a sleeve asap. :) janet

      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.
