I haven't been here in a while. I was three weeks out one day before I could start mushies, and I started getting sick. I couldn't even drink water. Turns out I have a leak. I spent one week in the hospital with nothing by mouth. I now have a feeding tube with nothing by mouth. I am at home now which is a big plus. I went in 2 days ago for another EGD, and a leak repair. They feel that everything went well, but said now we just have to wait and see how it heals. My throat is killing me now. They scratched it up during the EGD.

I'm feeling really down, and scared. Please let me know if you have experienced any of these things, and how they turned out.

oH KKB, I'm so sad to hear of your terrible troubles! I pray that you heal up fast! So far so good for me, so I really don't have much advice to offer, only my support.

Hugs!!!! Please check in and let us know how your doing!

No advice but I'm thinking of you and I hope you heal up quickly!

I am sorry you had this turn of events- it sounds like you're on the road to recovery though. I can not provide you any advice, but I wish you well. Welcome back and I'm sure someone with more experience than I will respond. Feel better soon.

Thank you for coming back and sharing with us. I know it can be hard when it seems everyone is talking about how good they are doing. I hope that things are smooth sailing for you from now on.

OMGOSH GIRL! Poor you!!! I was wondering where you've been ...Father help my sleeve sister, heal her body, and give her peace, in Jesus name!!!!

My uvula was pretty messed up after surgery, and it's much better now...give it some time hugs!!!!

Oh KKB, How scary for you! I read a blog pre op of someone who had one. Her leak was small and the doctors kept holding off doing anything because they had hoped it would close on its own. It didn't and she got pretty sick. But as soon as they went in and did a repair it all turned around and she has been doing great ever sense.

Good luck

Nancy

Oh my! I hope you are feeling better and back to normal soon. Best of luck girl!

Praying for you, I'm I'm sure you will be fine. Complications are not common but they happen, the good thing is that it was spotted on time and they're doing something about it , be strong

I am sooo sorry you are feeling scared and pray you find comfort soon. Best wishes!

I am so sorry for your troubles but good that you got back to the dr so that they could fix it before it got real bad. Wishing a speedy recovery for you let us know how things go

My best advice is to make certain your doctor is the best. If I had a leak I would be revisiting my doctor choice. I would be hesitant to use same doctor. At least worth reevaluating. Several people on this site have had leaks but best medical care is paramount as proven by who makes it through.

But I know the best bariatric surgeon will get occasional leak. Go with your research and your instincts.

Will be praying for you. It is always concerning. Please update us.

Hi KKB,

It's been a few days since your posting. I hope you reached out to Tiff, and are now feeling better physically and in spirit. I had my own challenges post surgery, not a leak but complications that debiliated me enough to scare the lights out of me and regre surgery. I feared never recuperating and never feeling strong and able. I share your fear KKB. I'm grateful to say life is wonderful now. All has passed, and I am now enjoying my sleeve and all the inner growth that came from my condition. The same will happen to you. You're in my prayers.

GOod luck for a quick recovery. I'm sure this was really scary for you!!! (((hugs)))) What happened that made you know? What kind of getting sick? I'm just curious. Hoping you're back to normal asap and feeling better!
