I'm In The Hospital

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.

I to am praying for you and am glad you know how to listen to your body so early in the process. I was sleeved the 5th and am just now starting to sip on a protein drink. I still don’t know what full feel like and my stomach makes sounds and growls when I put anything in it. I am sure when you get over this and look back you will be amazed at your strength. Stay positive and keep us posted.

Thanks to all those who left recent posts. I'm still in the hospital..should come home tomorrow. I'll be under home health care for a couple weeks I think.

I'm so glad to see you post again! I hope you're feeling better and that you're ok with the home health care. Big hugs to you and lots of prayers your way.

Glad to hear things are slowly improving. And eColi?? Yikes! As if a leak wasn't enough! Wishing you all the best for a speedy, full recovery, and lots of prayers and positive thoughts headed your way.

Hoping you continue to improve each and every day. The bumpy road will be worth it in the end.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Unfortunately, I did not get to go home, I'm still in the hospital. My sugar went high and they are trying to get that stable.

Finally! I got to come home yesterday. I still have my pic line for another week or 2 so no food or liquids yet. I go back to see my surgeon on the 17th. They'll set up an upper gi to see if the leak has closed. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, the support here is amazing!

Glad to see you're finally home and I hope resting better. You have been through so much, I hope the positives of this are that you have lost lots of weight, you deserve it. I hope things get continually easier and your health improves so that you can feel as great as I do. well wishes coming your way!
