Okay I hope you all tell me I'm just paranoid and we can laugh about it okay?

I still have a burning sensation as I swallow, even when I am trying to do small sips, am I still sipping too much, what does a leak actually feel like. I have been experiencing some discomfort, I wouldn't say pain, in my stomach. Paranoid? What does a leak actually feel like?

I am not a doctor, but I would think the discomfort is from the swelling and your body healing.

My surgeon said the 2 most obvious signs of a leak were high heart rate and fever. I was told to call immediately if I had those symptoms. If it would make you feel better, call your surgeon and discuss your symptoms. It never hurts to check.

Hi Wannalise,

I was sleeved on the 15 of March. I had the same feelings that you do. I am just 10 days ahead, but hang in there. It gets better and better everyday. Be sure to keep up with your antacid (previcid) or whatever you are taking. I no longer have any burning sensations. It just takes time. You can do it..

:sad0:

Thank you my friends! I actually am on so much medicine because of my seizure meds and supplements that I hadn't started the antacid yet, if that will help though I am gonna jump on it now!

Pain with a leak is unbearable, excruciating, radiating across your abdomen. Fever, and excessive nausea are common with leaks as well.

If you had a leak, you would be Dr. Aceves first one, so I really doubt that it is what is causing you the burning. Don't forget he did 3 leak tests before you left the hospital.

I hope you feel better soon and I am sure this is a natural part of healing.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
