Update: This is Anna, I had my 3 month check up, CT scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis and everything looked great since surgery. A few other problems were found and I ended up having back surgery. 15 staples across my lower back from having 2 over 7" cm of lipoma tissue removed. All of it couldn't be removed as the doctor said it's like one giant one that is running along my spine, and all over the lower lumber back. After that, I had my staples removed the 30th and it's healing great, then the 31st, I had an EGD as I've been again experiencing chest pain, a small amount of choking and major heartburn. I have a hiatal hernia and will need surgery for that. I also have a lot of polyps in my stomach from taking proton inhibitors for GERD. We're waiting on biopsy results on those but apparently they're pretty much always benign. I also had something called an inlet patch, which is some stomach tissue lining in my esophagus so they biopsied that as well. Just waiting for results and a surgery date for the hernia. This one will be an inpatient stay. We thought we'd start 2015 off without more surgeries but are thankful that they find and fix the problems. Hope this finds everyone happy and healthy in the new year!
