Kidney issue delays sleeve surgery

[Grace818 13]

I jumped through the hoops and had my sleeve surgery scheduled for October 21.

Then early September through a CT scan for some abdominal pain (which turned out to be an intestinal infection) they found a solid mass on my kidney.

So instead of having sleeve surgery on Oct 21, I had kidney surgery on Oct 20. The mass on my tumor did turn out to be malignant but the good news is, they got it all.

I talked to the bariatric surgeon's office and if the kidney surgeon is ok with it, we can reschedule the sleeve surgery for early February.

I see the kidney surgeon next week so we'll see what he says.

kidney surgery- mass on tumor malignant - good news, they got it all.

sorry for all your pain, problems

glad "they" were able to get rid of the solid mass on your kidney

for now, take care of yourself

surgery of course is serious

do everything the doc tells you

I'm sure you realize your kidney issue is much more important than the sleeve

having WLS now, doesn't hold a candle to all your problems you are dealing with

when doc says its ok to be sleeved - great

but don't be in a hurry

take care of yourself

good wishes to you

speedy recovery

Update - sleeve surgery rescheduled for February 3. I'm doing great from the kidney surgery and looking forward to my sleeve surgery a month from tomorrow.

So sorry you got delayed by that, but so happy it was found in time to do any more damage. I was delayed by cancer, too (uterine). Once I had my surgery and it was all removed, I got the all clear rom my oncologist and scheduled for December. That was about 5 months later than expected, but I chose the 2nd date to be attached to a school break. Worked great and now I'm on the losers' bench!! Best of luck to you!!
