I have a small contained leak. My body has built a wall containing the leak from my stomach. I now have one small leak. The radiologist says that this may be the best I can get it and will have a permanent leak for the rest of my life. He was the second doctor to tell me that. Has anyone that has had a leak been told that by their doctor?

The leak has been going on for 15 weeks.

How can you function normally with a leak in your stomach?

Ashely and Candice. That hard to tell since axis reflux is so present in a lot of the sleevers . On my follow up I complained about heartburn not helping with current ppi and he doubled the dose. What else should we look for in addition to the reflux.

I felt so dehydrated and I could not even move or eat, I knew something was wrong. walking down the stairs was an ordeal.

Oh my gosh so sorry. My heartburn is horrible but since I started full liquids at least my energy came back a bit.

If you are worried u have a leak u can request to have one of those upper GI swallow test from ur doctor. I had multiple cat scans on my stomach that did not always pick up the leak but the swallow test always did. I had the unfortunate opportunity of having 14 swallow tests.

My gosh so sorry. Thank you Candice

Candice same here!!!!! By the time I ended up being admitted I couldn't walk across to the next room without being exhausted and out of breath!

In addition I started shaking for no reason and it got to the point I couldn't get much in and whatever I could came back up. No matter what I did or how much I slept I was always exhausted and couldn't get comfy. The day I got admitted I felt like I did when I had mono, I thought I was going to die or something
