Leak 5 weeks put

[Filica 0]

So I am 5 weeks post op today and I had been feeling really bad and not able to keep any food down since Friday so yesterday I emailed my symptoms to my sergeon he called me right back and said get in your car and make the two hour drive to the hospital I think you might have a leak..... Well I did have a small leak so now I am in the hospital and they are going to put a feeding tube in! This is very scary to me and I just thought I could post and get support and maybe if so has questions I could answer just ask

I don't have any experience with leaks, but I know there are several on here who have suffered with them and in the end they did beautifully. I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this now. Please keep everyone on here posted. As I said several have BTDT and even those of us who haven't had leaks care and wish you the best.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I will be thinking of you and sending you positive health vibes. I'm so glad they caught it and you are getting the proper treatment you need. Hugs!

Scary! But it sounds like it's minor and was caught early, so everything will probably be just fine. You did the right thing by contacting your doctor ASAP when you noticed something wasn't right. Hopefully you're back to being healthy soon!

Can't fault you for contacting your surgeon, just shows that we know our own bodies... and fair play to him/her for a speedy response.

Now, you are in the best place and in good hands... so rest and get better really soon... keep us posted...

I hope you feel better really soon x

So glad you had the good sense to call your surgeon when it felt wrong and also glad he got back to you quickly. So sorry you're dealing with this but I have faith all will be ok. Hopefully years from now this will be one of those funny "remember when we did Thanksgiving at the hospital" stories. In the meantime, rest and recover, it sounds like you're in good hands.
