I am asking for prayers tonight. I got very sick last night and developed a temp of 101. My surgeon told me to go to the ER to be evaluated. A ct scan and upper gi confirmed I have a small leak. Out of several thousands, I'm the 2nd one that this has ever happened to with my surgeon. Everyone here has always been very supportive and I appreciate any words of encouragement. I'm feeling quite down right now.

We all wish you the best and hope for a speedy and full recovery!

Take care and keep in touch.

I'm sorry to hear that happened. I will be thinking of you. Just do what they tell you to do and all will be well.

Prayers coming your way! Please keep us all updated on how your doing!

Peacequeen, I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this leak -- so what are the next steps? Do they have a good handle on where it is and how to fix it?

Yes, they are. I am being given lots of fluids and antibiotics,,they've cut off all food and drink and put in a pic line. They are trying to keep from doing surgery. It's just a small leak so if I do what they tell me to, we're hoping it will close up. It's a little overwhelming but I'm trying to stay optimistic.

Awww Sis!! I'm so sorry.. I just sent u a PM.. Don't laugh too hard!!!

Love and hugs

Hang in there! I just got word this week my leak is healed and started back on fluids today. It can be an emotional roller coaster but you will get through it! If you need to talk don't hesitate to contact me!

that you have a leak. I'm glad they found it now instead when it was tooooo late. Sending lots of healing energy your way! Lots of hugs...

Get well soon! Sending prayers your way <3

Peacequeen... so sorry that you have a leak and that you are feeling sick! I will pray for a quick resolution for you so you can get back to a normal recovery. Hang in there!

So sorry to hear that. At least it was found early. Hang in there and keep us informed what is going on.

So how did it start, how did you know? I am so bummed for you and am saying prayers. Just been thinking about you since I first saw your post. Hugs honey!

Thanks, everyone. I love this site, I knew everyone would pick me up when I'm down.

LoserMama..I've had pain since surgery so it's hard to tell when it started but last night I had pain beyond pain and a fever so I just felt something was wrong. Thanks for thinking of me,,it means so much. I'll be ok,,just a hurdle.

I am so sorry to hear of your " bump in the road " but do appreciate you writing to let us know so that we can say a prayer and support you in any way we can. We can also learn from your experience. I personally have questions and when you feel up to it hopefully your answers can help many. What day were you sleeved? Have you been able to take in the required amounts of protein and fluids? Were you in pain and if so where was the pain located? I am 8 days post op, have felt better than expected, take in more than expected, yet woke today feeling sick. Rapid heart rate, blurred vision, exhaustion,dizzy, sort of short of breath and just yucky, but no fever and still able to eat and drink without any tummy issues. I am feeling much better this evening after taking a Tylenol. I will pray for your quick recovery...

praying for a swift recovery for you! I'm glad they found out what it was right away! Way to be diligent in your aftercare!!!
