Frustration
Sep 27, 2011
New to the site and not sure where this will post or whether or not a public view but here's my frustration... I finally got up the nerve to set out on this journey of WLS. Well, I'm moving right along and BAM... a call from the gastro doctor who did the endoscopy... seems one of the biopsys came back showing intestinal metaplasia. My choice of gastric bypass is more than likely not an option at this point and I have to go for follow up testing. I may possibly be able to do the sleeve cause if the stomach is "dirty", in that procedure 2/3 of it is discarded. If all else fails, I can get lap-band which will allow a gastro doctor to still have access to my stomach for future monitoring. Yes I am lucky to have caught this condition, which I don't really understand fully yet but I am frustrated and angry cause its not the procedure I want to do and now I kinda feel like I don't want to even bother... I wanted bypass cause of the malabsorption and now that is not a choice. I wanted this procedure to be able to live life to its fullest, longevity, being healthy and energetic but.... if this condition is what the internet says... whats the point? I may develop gastric cancer and it take me out any how.... Well, I'm just venting. Thanks for listening!!
