I woke up today feeling a little blue about everything. Fortunately, I am able to update some information today. The nurse called this morning, and gladly announced that my polyp was a normal polyp and not cancerous. I was glad to hear that since we didn't think it was! She seemed like she was going to hang up the phone, so I quickly asked her what the plan was. She was confused, as the location is a general surgery location as well as a Center of Excellence for Bariatric surgery location. When I explained that my surgery that had been scheduled for tomorrow was postponed because of this non-cancerous polyp, she said she would get more information from the surgeon. She called me back around noon, and let me know that my surgeon would like to get another look at the inside of my stomach in 4 weeks, (which is much better than the 12 weeks that she originally thought it was going to be!). If everything still looks good at that point, then we can reschedule my surgery. So, I am now scheduled for my next endoscopy on April 15th.
