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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
