thanks for all the prayers!!!! i love you guys.

so heres an update & all my details.

i was feeling GREAT these last few weeks. i was able to eat, wasnt feeling weak or nothing! i was able to eat & everything. there was 2x in the past 2weeks where i threw up yellow bile. i contacted my nurse practioner after the first time & she said if it happens again.. let her know!

well.. i did. she requested i have an upper gi series. SUPER LONG AND DEVESTATING STORY SHORT...... i came in, had it done, was leaving & bumped into my surgeon who stopped me & told me i had a leak (in the hall way), got a CT scan, called my mom crying hysterical, met with my surgeon & found out that i had 2options.

1. gastric bypass.. ERRRR NOPE!

2. stent with a shot of botox.

but he told me i can be in the hospital for 8weeks!!!! WDFFFFFF???? 8weeks? not happening!!!!! i broke down & began crying hystericallly and uncontrollably when i heard this. then he said if i felt better sooner that i can go home. they dont see how i have a leak since i have no symptoms other than yellow bile. im doing GREAT!!!!!! smh.

so now, im admitted into the hospital. this is a nightmare come true & im waiting to wake up. they are going to place the stent tomorrow & i guess see where i go from there.

as far as one girls go with the nachos comment, as i stated on that post... the nachos basically melted in my mouth & did not cause my leak!

my surgeon says he believes food did not cause my leak so im not worried about that!

***********UPDATE************

last night was horrible! my roommate is a bigger woman & she snores like a bear! i was growing agitated with every breath she took! finally i couldnt take it & i called a nurse & begged for another room.. they said they had none. i then requested some benadryl! she gave me the benadryl. i told her there was nooooo way i could sleep with her snoring that way. not only that... she is so loud & 24/7 on the phone! her phone was ringing at 1am & it was so frustrating.. i cant deal. shes making this experience so much worse.

Glad to hear that you are being treated, but it seems weird that your doc's first suggestion to heal the leak was a gastric bypass.

Have they placed the stent yet? I hope that goes quickly and easily for you.

Praying that you will heal well and quickly. And, no, I don't believe that one nacho created a leak in your sleeve either!!!
