Any People With Gastric Sleeve Leaks?
it sucks horribly!!! but thank you very much. i have another thread "i definitely regret surgery..... so far" in the "tell your story" part of this site. i post often there

Any People With Gastric Sleeve Leaks?
i have a leak. im 8weeks post op & my leak was discovered at 5weeks. they placed a stent in me on jan 26th & it has truly truly truly truly TRULY been hell. i definitely regret surgery. i am down 50lbs & i rather had gained 50lbs than to have lost it. the stent has been making me seriously sick. i cant eat & i can barely drink. it had me fighting the urge to vomit 24/7 & i would vomit about 3-5x a day & i even wake up in the middle of the night to throw up in my mouth & hand! on friday, i couldnt take it no more & i demanded that they remove the stent. they refused & told me that if my leak hasnt healed, i can become seriously ill & could die. i said fine! they sent me for a xray which showed my stent had migrated. long story short, they were going to remove the stent but it was still covering the leak so they decided to just re-adjust it. since re-adjusting (friday), ive only vomitted 2x. im not fighting the 24/7 urge to vomit but i do feel pain. they are going to remove the stent on feb 20th so im counting down the days & im praying it comes fast. i want it out. by the way, my only symptom of my leak was me throwing up bile 2x.

11 Wk Post Op Vomiting And Stall
first let me say that im sorry youre not feeeling well. i know this feeling all too well. you should be seen by a dr to find out why youre vomitting & maybe you need to be on nausea meds. have you had vomitting problems before? i dont mean to scare you but dont ignore signs your body sends you. throwing up bile 2x was my only indication that i had a leak.

Complications ;(
yikes! i too am having complications but not the same as yours. ive never heard of a complication like yours. i have a leak. i cant keep anything down due to astent being placed in me in which is making me soooooo sick. im supposed to keep the stent i for a total of 4-6weeks. its been 2wks & 1day & i am requesting them to take it out!!! i cant deal with being so sick.. the constant vomitting, not eating, barely drinking, constant nausea & discomfort. its HELL!!!!!! seriously. i cant deal with it anymore. i feel as if i am dying slowly & they are trying to drag me to the 4week mark & i cant do it.

Today Is My Day
the infamous swabs! lol. i lived on those. i had a billion of those. for the pain in the shoulder, try walking around. when i came out of surgery, i only had incision soreness & dry mouth & i was sleepy. i didnt press my morphine button often. most times, i forgot it was even there until an incision would hurt real bad. i was walking around like nothing. i had my gall bladder removed 2yrs prior & i think my gall bladder was worse in the hospital. good luck to u! <3
