Kinda/ sort of had gastric bypass RNY surgery today......

I went in for my surgery today. Got prepped. Was put under. Had the incisions for the hernia repair and RNY gastric bypass. The surgeon went in.....

And when I woke up they told me they had removed a lymph node and I passingly have lymphoma. I get the biopsy in 3 days....

I am so blessed. Had I not been "opened up" and the surgeon saw it..... They may not have found out until it was too late---or may have not.Found it at all!!!!!!

What a blessing.

The doc said I can still have the surgery in the future and will not need the strict diet because my liver looked so good!!!

Wow. That's crazy. I have an umbilical hernia but Doctor left it. He said it would likely return with all the hanging skin and with that kind of hernia the apron surgery it practically a shoe in with my insurance. So glad they found out and they are taking charge!!

One individual in our bariatric surgery support group was in the final preparations for RNY surgery. He underwent the pre-op testing and a surgery date was set. He was a week away from surgery but then they called him in for immediate surgery - open heart surgery. He was about to have a heart attack.

We saw him at the next meeting after his heart surgery, he had lost some weight and then few months later he had regained enough strength and then underwent the RNY surgery.

Amazing! God works in mysterious ways. My husband's pancreatic cancer was found 'by mistake' - saved his life!
