I was eight days post op when the leak was discovered. In hospital for 3 wks and home on tpn iv for a week in a half. It is taking so long to heaL. Have anyone had this problem?

What symptons did you have with your leak?

Well 5 days out I started to get tired with left shoulder pain. Then I started to get fever around 101. On day 8 my temp was 103 and I really didn't feel well. I went to the ER and my heart rate was irregular it was beating faster than normal. They took a ct and said I had pneumonia. My surgeon appeared the next day and said I had a leak. They drain 30 cc of pus fron the abcess that the leak made.

There have been a "few" people who developed leaks here and I am sure they will chime in. From what I have read the recovery process was slow going. Sorry you experienced that, but it is really rare.

So sorry to hear you have a leak. I pray you have a speedy recovery.

Yikes, that's scary!! Keep us updated!
