Hey team, well, my slfeeve did not teurn out quite the way I plan. Has surgrery , feflt good for less that a week and then it it was all down hill from their. I have been in the hospital since April25 and it is now May. I have a leak and their apporch is to withhold all food/liquiuids from my stromach until it it is fully healed. This is has been the hardest time of my life. I have a very good American surgeon, but life happens. Please do not think this only happens to other people. My medical bills are accumulating faster than I can place in a pile.

We all like to think this happens to other people...well I guess I am the the other person. Forturnately, I'm healing and the docs think I might actually get out of her by the end of next week. I just know...it's been the hardest time of my life. would I do think again...don't know. I cry in bed becasuse after 3+ weeks in the hospital...I want to go home to my bed.

please put up with the bad grammar and spelling, I am not at my sharpest

Dee Dee,

I am so sorry. Please know that you have tons of love and support via these forums. I can't imagine how emotionally exhausting almost a month in the hospital would be. I will be thinking of you and hope that your doctors and your body are able to get things healed and you will be able to feel better very soon. Keep posting if you need to vent and need some support! We're here.

Its good to hear from you. You know how very difficult this has been. My doctor just came by. Patience is the key and I have very little if any left. I think they will try another barium test on Tue to see how much is left to heal...we were getting close. He said the good thing, my nutruition has never bee better having been feed liquid high quality food. Please keep me in your prayers..it's what I need the most. Diane

I am so sorry to hear about your complications. I will be praying for you....keep us posted on your recovery.

Hey Dee Dee just wondering if they did your swallow test yet? Hoping things are going well.
