Oh Boy. This Could Get Ugly.

I'm 6 days out tonight and have started to run a fever around 102. Doc has me on Tylenol until tomorrow as long as I don't have any increasing pain. If the pain gets worse or the fever doesn't respond to Tylenol- to the ER I go.

And I am pretty much shitting myself. Leaking has been the one aspect of this surgery that scared me the most. Here's to hoping my body is just having a hard time adjusting!

Praying for you! That seems like a huge amount of contrast I was give 1-2 oz each time I had a test with my leak. I hope it's just a bug!

The bad news- I have such a bad postoperative infection that my sleeve has swollen almost closed.

I've been admitted to the hospital and am being pumped full of IV antibiotics and pain meds.

Thanks for your update. I'm so glad that you don't have a leak, but I'm sorry that you have such a bad infection. Praying that the IV meds do the trick and you are able to be feeling better asap. Hang in there.

Praying for you. I am so glad you listened to your body. Hoping you feel better soon and have a speedy recovery.
