So I was feeling all excited about finishing up my required pre-approval tests and labs and was surprised to get an email from my regular doc saying that the hospital send her a copy of my test results and my chest x-ray was abnormal and it looks like there is a nodule in my left lung. Trying not to freak out, but also thinking it's a little weird that the surgeon's office didn't notify me themselves since they ordered the x-ray in the first place. Did anyone else have something unexpected show up on pre-op tests? If so, did your surgeon notify you immediately or did they wait and discuss it with you at your consultation appointment. I just got the email today and my consultation is on Tuesday (2 business days from now), so maybe they figured it just made sense to wait? I have never smoked so I am hoping the nodule is nothing to be concerned about. Thanks!

They found an abnormal lump in my breast when I got my mammogram. Then had to get another mammogram, ultra sound, biopsy...then they removed it.it was the size of a pea.....very early. So not only has the sleeve helped improve my life it also may have already saved it.

Whatever it is I understand it is a scary feeling. I did not experience this situation myself, but wanted to chime in to let you know I'm praying everything turns out to be ok. Please let us know what you find out.

Surgeon wasn't especially worried but is sending me for a CT scan and a pulmonary consult to be safe. CT scan is tomorrow, consult is mid-April.

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