Well, smooth sailing isn't my style.

Preop on Friday - with nurse, fairly basic seemed ok. Got copy of LSD to do for 2 weeks. Slightly unnerved that I wasn't seeing the dr.

Anyway... Wednesday was gastroscopy. I was sedated although I think I remember it all. Hearing "ooh what's that?!" Isn't what I wanted to hear.

They found: gastritis and prominent fold, query submucosal tumour - so took some biopsies. None of my wls research prepared me for that. Apparently if they hadn't done it and they'd found that doing my surgery, they d've halted procedure.

So now I wait. Wait to find out what it is. What to find out if I have op. Wait.

So close!

Oh then today I get a letter re bloods detailing all my anomalies including severe vitamin d deficiency which needs active treatment.

I just wanna rock and cry.

Awwww Hun, I'm sure they will get you sorted!!

And it's good they found it now, would have broken your heart to go into an op and wake up without one!!

Don't worry about the vitamin D - it's common. So my GP says. Levels are supposed to be in the 300's mine was 22!! So I take a capsule once a week xx

So sorry for another set back but it is better to be safe than sorry when thinking of undergoing such a major op and you will get there just slightly longer wait again keep your chin up if you can and hope they sort you soon

Fingers crossed. It's only been a few days but feels like forever.

Mine is 22! I didn't realise 300 was the norm. Not had call from GP so guess they're not too worried.

Of course you're right. I was so sure I'd researched every eventuality, so this has thrown me somewhat.

I don't have result from biopsies yet but my op has been postponed as they reorganising more tests. Trying not to worry, but it's not easy :-|
