Getting prepared for my surgery

Breasts after surgery

Rate this Entry
I haven't been on in a while, but I wanted to share my current experience. I am down to 202 lbs from my original weight of 275 since my surgery in August 2016. I feel so much better and am able to work and get around.

However, last month I found a rather large lump in my right breast. I feel like it must have been there the whole time and I was not able to feel it under all of that weight. Now it seems that a whole new worry has come over me. I go in on the 5th to talk to a surgeon about removing the lump to get it biopsied, but I am beyond terrified. I read online that this happens that women find lumps after losing a lot of weight and usually they are benign...but that doesn't seem to help settle this horrible feeling.

Well, just thought I would share an update on my progress and where it is leading. I will try to spend more time watching and reading everyone's progress.

    Yep, I feel lots lumps and bumps, not only in the boobie area, but everywhere. I assume they're either lymph nodes or fatty cysts.

    Have you had a mammo?

    Yes I did have the mammo and that is how I know the sizes of the lymph nodes and the size of the lump in my breast. It states that it is highly suggestive of malignancy, hence the biopsy.
