scared, leak, please help!

[KKB 0]

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.

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.

Hugs

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!!!!

[lunarose 97]

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

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.
