Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 I am home. You were all right, this was not an eacy process. I had the gastric bypass on monday and knew that my gall bladder had to come out too. But something scary happened in surgery. I had the surgery open, and my doc knows my family history of cancer so he decided to just " check " my ovaries. He found a tumor larger than his fist on my left ovary. They had to stop the surgery, get my husbands permission to remove it, freeze it and get a FAST biopsy on it. That came back benign, so he removed the left ovary and did the bypass. The whole tumor and ovary has been sent off now, and so we are waiting and praying for those results. My poor family was put through the wringer that day, the pastor and other family had driven over 120 miles to be there and immediately went to prayer. I know that it will all be ok, and I am so thankful that I chose to have this surgery, or that tumor would still be hiding in me. I am on the losing side now ladies. and sore sore sore. When I was in recovery, my doctor tried to tell me what happened, but he said I would not remember anything he was telling me. He was wrong. So when my husband finally got to come in to me, he would try to tell me and I would just cry and shake my head and go to sleep. I heard him tell my mom on the phone that he had not gotten to talk to me for over 30 seconds, and then I would drift off crying. So I braved up and let him tell me what happened and what we are facing. I am ok now, because I believe God led me to this surgeon to save my life, and my husband and I keep telling him this. ok, I can't sit up any longer, just wanted to let you guys know I am home and well.
