Hi guys, I need your help/suggestions on this one..... I went for my upper GI pre-op testing yesturday and they saw something abnormal, so they took a biopsy, what the heck could it be? Cancer? ulcer? Has anyone experienced this? The results from the biopsy will not be in untill friday, now I'm scared sh--less, I have no major co-morbidities , I thought this is another chance to make a fresh new start, the question is Will I be granted another chance if something majorly is wrong with me? ............................................................

Hi my surgery is the 3rd also in Upstate NY... I wish you all the best.. We always seem to worry if it's anything you will be notified. I'm saying a prayer for you... Good luck with your surgery...Dorothy

Hey Jay-sorry to hear about the glitch. I am becoming a pro at it- Failed my cardiology angiogram-(they found I have cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart) and congestive heart failure. I failed the psych test (depressed and need anti-depressants-duh) and failed the sleep study (found out I DO have sleep apnea) My surgeon says no problem-he did the surgery on a guy who needed a heart transplant but they wouldnt put him on the list because he was too fat. They did the RNY and he is a big loser. I know I am rattling but just wanted you to not stress too much. Whatever the problem it can be solved. Keep the faith. I know it's tough and don't wait around for the results call them everyday until they give you an answer. You don't need to worry forever. I know tomorrow is Friday and you should have the results and hopefully you will report back here that you will be just fine! I just have a feeling that my pre-op testing will be messed up for me also. So I may need your shoulder in a few weeks! Patti
