I had a drain inserted directly into the fistula from the front of my chest and another chest tube inserted from the side for my lungs. I felt like a science experiment! Sent from my iPad using VST

Thanks for your reply. I have felt very alone in this process. I think the chest tubes and the drains down my back were the worst of it. Just have to get my lungs to heal up and hopefully that will be that. Have you had any further issues??

I had my sleeve on June 10th and by the 15th I was in the ER vomiting blood and in the worst pain of my life. My sleeve leaked and caused a fistula of infected Fluid on the outside of my stomach. While I was in the ER I aspirated some of he fluid from the fistula and ended up with pneumonia. I had to be air lifted from Albuquerque to El Paso where I had my surgery where I spent the next week in ICU and the next month and a half in the hospital. I just got home a few days ago and I still feel horrible. The procedures I had to go through to fix this problem was not worth it. I wish I never had the surgery in the first place.

I go tomorrow. I'll let you know what happens! Sent from my iPad using VST
