Thank for your replies... You were right I ended up in emergency room .

I never felt this bad in y life. Like zombie, not eating for 10 days and not drinking even Water I was unable to take.

And the cause I had a whole stomach infection, abscess as big as 3cm , and a leak and with all this I had NO PAIN the doctors were wow. But really I didn't feel pain that's why I was not concerned about leaking bcoz they say the first symptom is stomachache .

Anyway I'm under heavy antibiotics, they sucked out the pus,nothing by mouth for one week. I'm feeling a lot better but scared for what might come next.

I'm praying god that this will the end of the suffering.

Now 13days in hospital. I still have nothing by mouth I'm on feeding tubes. All wired I feel like frankenstein . It's not fun anymore but I read it's still a long way ahead. I'm so depressed coz I don't what to expect : they say thery are gonna put the stents but I'm still waiting. Will it heal? How long? When are they gonna remove the drains? All these questions with no answers. It sucks when you feel you have no control. I still have only 8kg to lose to reach my target weight I have lost 20 kg so far ...please those of you out there who had a leak, tell me how did you do?

Oh my what a trial you have been through. I am saying a prayer for you right now. Just a quick question...doesnt your doctor come by atleast 1 time a day. Ask him/her all your questions and keep asking until they have an answer. I have learned that if the medical staff treating you cant answer a question now ask them when they will be able to tell me...like can I get the drains out...they may say not until you are no longer draining Fluid. Or how long does the average patient with a leak stay in the hospital? For now try not to be down. It isnt like you did anything wrong you just need to let your self heal.

I am so glad you went to the ER when you did and I am so sorry to read you have a leak. It is surprising you had no symptoms especially since you were so far out. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thank you all for your support. It's uplifting you have no idea

Yep no symptoms can you imagine? , no vomitting at first,no shoulder pain, no abdominal pain, no nothing. I was hsving little discomfort after eating but i said to myself maybe i ate too much.That was the problem and the doctors were like wow I had Only fever and since we had a flu around the house I said maybe I got it...the only indication is that my eating was diminishing little by little until I couldn't eat anymore and I started vomiting.

I did another GI no leak apparent but the doctor told me to be in the safe side we gotta put the stent. And I'm waiting because it's not available it's coming from US.

I have a release now in the evening to go see my children. I'm doing fine over all. Yesterday I went shopping I stayed out for 5 hours and it went fine. Let's take it day by day.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
