Well I'm a mix of emotions after my 1mo. post-op appointment. Good news first, I have lost a total of 33lbs so far! Now for the not so good news, I may or may not have a leak or an abcess..... On NYE I ended up in the ER with very bad stomach pain & pain in between my shoulder blades. I was admitted to the hospital and a CT scan was done. I was told the scan was clear but my lab work showed I had pancreatitis. I was sent home the next day on a strict diet. My surgeon was out of the country during my ER visit & had no on call doctor. So today when we met I told him what happened. He looked up the CT scan report & lab work & told me the CT scan shows "fluid collection". He said we need to rule out a leak or an abscess. I am having an upper GI this wed. please please pray it's not a leak!! :/

Do you have to pay for this hospital bill? My dr said some insurance won't pay since it was caused by an elective surgery!

no I will not be billed. My husband spoke with the insurance co. and it's covered.

Did you find anything out yet? Crossing my fingers for you that it isn't a leak.

Praying for you right now!

that you have to go through this, hoping if it's a leak that it will heal itself. Hang in there and sending some healing energy your way......

No leak!! Wooohoooo!
