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!

I'm doing better now. I was released the day after I made my last post here, but admitted again for almost a week less than a week later with almost the same symptoms, only this time I was dry heaving bc I had nothing in my sleeve to vomit up. Turns out that bc of the initial infection I developed pretty bad erosion. I was put on a double dose of prilosec and Sucralfate. It's been totally amazing how different I feel. I still have some pain when it gets to the 4 hour mark when I need another dose but I'm hoping that will ease up with time.

Glad to hear you are feeling better!!!!!
