im going to tell my nurse practioner that if they can stop the vomitting somehow, im willing to keep the stent in but if the vomitting cant be controlled, the stent must come out!

i dont wanna feel like i wasted 2weeks for nothing. i pray that maybe my leak is already healed but something tells me that with the lack of nutrition & constant vomitting.... i doubt it.

I worry that the vomiting is just going to keep the leak open with it contracting the stomach. I hope not - I guess if the expert isn't worried maybe not.

Can't they give you a TPN through a PICC line until your issues are resolved? I can't believe they haven't suggested that to you. You can do that at you own home, you don't phave to be hospitalized. They could also put other meds and Vitamins in with it. Nothing goes into your stomach and you do not gain weight. i was on one for 18 days cuz they thought I had a leak in my esophagus from the hiatial hernia part of the surgery. If you have a leak, I would think that they would have put you on it already. i am praying for you and just can't imagine what you must be going through!

The TPN is for food and nourishment. I was on 1300 calorie bag per day, but you don't gain weight and then after you stop it, you lose some Water weight the first week off. i think you should ask about it since it sounds to me like it would do you good while the leak is healing.

I was on a much higher calorie tpn..I gained 13 pounds but it was worth it and I lost the 13 pounds a little over a week after I went off of it. If you feel as bad as you say you do,,I can't believe they haven't suggested this to you either.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
