Surprise during surgery!
Jan 07, 2011
I went on for gastric bypass on Nov. 29th, 2010. About 1/2 hour into the surgery, my husband saw Dr. Lord walking into the waiting room with some papers. Knowing this couldn't be could...He knew something was not right. It seems that after Dr. Lord put in the 7 poke holes and the camera, he noticed a very large ovarian cyst. It was too large to take out through on of the holes and he had to abandon the bypass and call in Dr. Sontag to do a c-section to remove the cysts. One was 15 lbs, and as large as a human head and the other the size of a golf ball. Dr. Lord said it filled a gallon bucket they put it in! Well, Praise God I had a camera in my belly that day and that Dr. Lord is such a good surgeon. Dr. Sontag wasn't my gyn but he is now. I am thankful Dr. Lord called him and he came while I was still under anesthesia and did the work. Everything was benign. This explains why I looked like I was expecting a baby, only it was purple and shaped like a football.I am not scheduled for the lapband on March 7th, 2011. Will keep ya posted!
