If you ahave a medical condition which in itself or because of medication may have an impact on weight loss or weight loss surgery, then you need to talk this through with your surgeon.

My best wishes.  Kate

HEY KATE THANKS FOR ANSWERING I THINK IMMA SPEAK WITH MY SURGEON I SPOKE WITH HIS NURSE SHE TOLD ME THE SAME IF ITS GONNA HURT MY WEIGHT LOSS THEN THEY NEED TO RETHINK ANOTHER SURGERY BUT I HAVENT SPOKE TO HIM DIRECTLY YET HOPEFULLY I GET A ANSWER TOMORROW BY MY PUMO !! U HAVE THE SLEEVE RIGHT WHICH ONE WAS BETTER FOR U ?

I am so very sorry this has happened to you, but I would have to second what Kate has said. When we make the decision on the type of wls we want we need to take our health needs into consideration. For example, I could not have a procedure that has a malabsorptive component because of my pre existing osteoporosis. You should talk to the pulmonologist to see when you could be cleared to have surgery (it may be a while) then talk to your surgeon. They will work together to see that you have the right thing at the right time.

If you have to wait a bit it would be wise to try eating as if you already had surgery so you can drop some pounds in the meantime. I had to wait 3 months and lost 20 lbs. in that time. The other thing is that steroids can cause you to be more hungry and retain lots of fluids so weight can rise. Work with your nut to deal with it. This is not the end of the world, but I understand your disappointment and frustration. I wish you the best, and keep coming to OH for support. God bless, Sue

THNAKS  SUE I AM GONNA TALK IT OUT WITH HIM JUST DIDNT WANT TO GO THRU MORE TESTING I FEEL WORNED OUT ALREADY ! I JUST DONT WANT IT TO HURT MY WEIGHT LOSS BEING THAT THE LAPBAND U HAVE TO WORK HARDER YES IVE BEEN 2WEEK LIQUID DIET DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD STOP

Is that diagnosis confirmed without the biopsy being back yet? Does your doc suspect this or has it been confirmed?

They biopsy was done on tuesday ! I am now waiting for the results to see what stage its at , he is i guess suspecting it by the looks of my xrays ive passed the breathing test ct scan and eco testing jus waiting on this last result so they can decide weather i need the meds or not how are u doing with ur sleeve?

 
For me the sleeve is a breeze, I really like it. I'm finding it a much better lifestyle than when I was banded.

Just hang in there for biopsy results, you just never know.  Things may be better than you realized!
