Hello all! First ill start by saying that I am 9 days Post op and yesturday I twisted my ankle and fell. I have strained every muscle in my body i think to not hurt my tummy. What i think i feel in my tummy area is pulled muscles. I am able to drink fine and i am on Full liquids. my quesion is how would i know if i caused damage to my new stomach? How would i know if I have a leak?

I am sorry to hear about your fall. If you are not having pain worse than a pulled-muscle feeling, you are getting your liquids down fine, and you have no fever, it's unlikely you have a leak. We are pretty tough, and the stomach is shielded from most trauma by the ribcage. Hope you feel better soon.

Leaks generally you stop being able to keep anything down. So sorry you fell!! Take care and feel better. Joan

thank you soo much. i was pretty sure i didnt get a leak only cause when i read on here people normally say that if you get a leak that you WILL know it! thanks so much just new at this and i guess im worrying about every little ping and pang my new stomach makes and every pain that i get. thanks again
