I Have A Leak In My Gastric Sleeve!



Recommended Posts

Liz' date=' how are you doing?[/quote']

I'm having some issues with drain site and a fever so eating is becoming a chore. I don't enjoy it at all right now. And my meds make me sleep a lot so my Fluid intake is low. But I can honestly say I've been worse. I may go to the ER tomorrow for fluids and to have my drain site cultured again. A birthday present to myself haha.

Well Happy Birthday...next birthday you will need to Celebrate twice to make up for this birthday!!

Those meds dehydrate you too so going in for a birthday bag of fluids is a wise decision.

Demand for them to give you some versed (sp?) in your iv for your birthday lol my anesthesiologist told me its like the fun of 10 margaritas without the calories or hangover.

I hope the culture comes back ok!

Youre in my thoughts <3

I just wanted to come give a little update - it has been almost a year since my leak healed. I am loving my sleeve. I am at my goal weight for about 4 months now, continuing to lose a little here and there. I thankfully haven't had any more problems since it healed. Miraculously my sleeve works just perfect since it healed - no problem with Vitamins, Protein, anything. It was a real struggle going through the whole ordeal but I am so thankful for my health today, 130 lbs lighter and so much energy. I feel wonderful.

That's great news! I sometimes feel a little guilty over how easy this has been for me, while others have suffered... I just wish all the sufferers a quick and complete recovery!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
