Surgery was this morninng. Was canceled half way though.



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled for surgery this morning and everything seemed to going great. Other than one day early in my 2 week liquid diet, I was perfect. All of my pre-addmission testing came back great. When I work up from the surgery though, my doctor told me they had to abort the surgery because when they went in they found a mass on my ovary. With all the drugs in my system all I could say was ok. Seems so stupid now, but I asked no questions. Now 12 hours later and no more drugs in my system I have a ton, but they sent me home.

On one hand I am so dissappointed my weight loss journey was put on hold but on the other hand I am extremely thankful that this was caught since I had not one system. Another twist of good luck is my mom is a maternity nurse so she is pulling some strings to get me seen ASAP to see what the mass is. Hopefully it is just a cyst and I can get it fixed and re-schedule my surgery.

I am so sorry to hear that. Its disappointing but glad they caught it early. Hopefully its nothing and you can re-schedule your surgery. My surgery is scheduled the 18th, I have an appt tomorrow to see the surgeons. I hope all goes well. I have heard stories where mid-way through surgery they notice something and have to abort surgery. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Maybe I'm not as educated as I thought I was, but how in the world did they go near your ovary when conducting a vsg surgery?

I am so sorry about that Kristin! But thank God they spotted it. I pray everything is okay and it's just a cyst. I have one on my left ovary thats just hanging out not causing any problems but I get it checked as often as I get my pap checks done.

Your journey hasnt ended, just a meer delay for a very good reason. Stay positive and dont worry too much.

I am sorry to hear your surgery was postponed and that you are disappointed. But, I have to believe your surgeon only had your health and safety in mind when he made the decision. It is a blessing that the mass was found. I hope and pray that it is something that can be treated easily and safely. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Sending hugs and prayers.

That is so scary! I hope it turns out to be nothing serious and they can get you rescheduled for surgery soon!

I was diagnosed with uterine cancer about 2 months before I was supposed to have the sleeve. Not quite as dramatic as finding it during surgery though! Just wanted to say I'm so sorry to hear that, but hopefully your doctors will take excellent care if you and this is just a speed bump for you. A hysterectomy cured my cancer, and I am rescheduled for Dec 14. Im not going to lie, though... My biggest fear is waking up and finding out they aborted surgery because they found something else. Xx praying for you.

      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.
