Wallowing in Self Pity
I just found out last week, after a CT scan (was having some pain) that they have found yet another mass/cyst growing in the area where my ovaries used to be. My body seems to want to grow these. when I had my bypass done last may - my surgeon cleaned me up at that time and now 8 months later it's back. A year before my bypass, I had the abdominalplasty for the same thing - a mass of scar tissue/adhesions that were growing. 2 years before that, I had the same thing, and 5 years proir to that one I had the same thing. Counting c-sections and the 2 procedures for my uterus and ovaries...this will be the 8th time my stomach has been opened up. I've gone from bawling in self pity to completely ticked off at the world right now.
I have an appt tomorrow with my ob/gyn to discuss this, and I have another appt on friday to discuss this with my gastric bypass surgeon. I'm worried about letting someone else root around inside me that isn't familiar with the gastric bypass process. With my medical luck, they'd somehow spring a leak or something like that and I'd have futher complications. I'm sure i'll feel better after meeting with both doctors and be able to decide from there. Only plus side I can come up with...is that maybe I can work a tummy tuck in with this and have insurance cover it. Lord knows, after being opened 8 times, I'm kinda feeling like I deserve it!
thanks for listening......not much anyone can do about it...but hubby is gone on a business trip and needed someone to listen to me cry. you guys are great! Wish I could contribute more to other posts....
Oh Sweetie, I am so sorry you are having such troubles!!You brought tears to my eyes!!I have been kindof hiding in the background(lurking) cause I am kindof in the same boat I too have to have another surgery & the really sad thing is I could work a tummy tuck into it & get it paid but I just don't want to have anymore surgeries!!!My Dr is really great & I know I have to do it, but I just need some time to wrap my mind around it!! I will come to you all when I can get my thoughts together!!You are in my thoughts & prayers!!
