    Oh no! So sorry to hear that, how scary! Did they do upper GI after surgery on you and the leak wasn't there at that time? How bad was your temp? Do you have a lot of pain? And signs of collapsed lung?

    Would like to know what I can watch out for.

    Hope it gets resolved on its own quickly so you can feel better!

    Temp was 101 and heart rate was 119. I was in a lot of pain sue to my lung like shortness of breath and a off and on stabbing pain in my left back.

    Hi all. Usually don't post but I need to vent to people that will understand what I'm going through. April 19 I had a bypass revision. 14 days post op my heart rate started racing and my temp was up . Went to the hospital and was sent home. Next day i went to my dr and I was admitted into the hospital where I stayed for 6 days. Dr found out I had a partially collapsed lung and a small leak. Now roughly 2 weeks later I'm back at home and have been on tpn and unable to eat or drink anything. I can't even take pills. I went in for a barium swallow today to see if the leak has resolved itself and no change. It's a very small leak, only 2 mm in length. I am so frustrated I want to scream. I'm tired of crying about this. I don't know if part of this is my personal issue with not being able to eat food or if it's just the ability to not being able to do anything normal, like sip on Water. For those who have had a small leak, how long did it take to resolve on its own. My dr said its too small to do surgery on. Any advice or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
