    Leak Healed?

    Hi, I was sleeved on 3/28 and had a lot of complications. I had a leak a few days later and had revision surgery. A few days after I was released from the hospital after my second surgery, I had to go back to the ER. I had multiple infections and was septic and had to have a 3rd surgery. I have since been released from the hospital and am doing much better. I'm still on a feeding tube but am also encouraged to eat so I'll be able to sustain myself once the tube is removed. My stomach was in pretty bad shape and I don't want the dr. to remove the feeding tube if the leak hasn't fully healed. My question is...how do you know if the leak has healed? I had a swallow test done before leaving the hospital. Is that test enough?

    Leak Healed?

    Thanks Shahada! Swim Bike Run - I was in good health before the surgeries so I was surprised I would have so many complications - 3 surgeries in less than a month. I'm going to take your advice and ask for the medical reason.

    Leak Healed?

    Thank you. I didn't have a stent put in. I guess they wanted to try and let my stomach heal on it's own. My mom has been staying with me while I recover and asked to get another test performed since I've had so many complications...just to be sure. My surgeon was against it and I'm wondering if I should push the issue.

    My surgery was postponed till the 31st and it's causing me to kind of freak out... I am sleepless and constantly over analyzing everythingOh no! I hope everything is ok. I believe things happen for a reason and it will all work out. Good luck on the 31st!
