Please Don't Let Me Have A Leak!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 4/20, just over 3 weeks ago. I woke up today with a headache & lightheadedness and have had nausea all day and evening. I'm very tired, too. My husband just forced me to take my temp and it is 100.6. I NEVER get sick. Like maybe once 20 years ago I got the flu. I never even get colds.

Things have been uneventful since coming home from surgery. I've felt great, no pain, never vomited, and have been on soft foods for about 1.5-2 weeks. I eat a lot of chicken, cheese, eggs, can barely stomach Protein Shakes, though. Everything I've eaten has gone down fine (except a few sugary things caused nausea, things I shouldn't have had anyway).

Somebody please tell me this is nothing. Though I've seen on lots of threads that fever & nausea likely is indicative of a leak. Has anyone had these symptoms & NOT had a leak?

Ugh. Please, God. I really don't want to go through this.

Sounds like some dehydration - you want to get checked out. Preferably sooner rather than later.

Just the opinion of one rotten nurse :D

Without the pain I doubt it's a leak. I agree that it could be dehydration but you may also have a virus. Go to your doctor, you'll be okay.

I would head to the ED, so they can check you out. If it's nothing, than it's nothing. Better safe than sorry...

Thank you so much for your insight. I woke up today feeling pretty well, a little nausea throughout the day and tired. I spoke to my nutritionist and told her I thought I was over everything & the fever went away. She said it was probably just a bug or dehydration.

I ended up feeling horrible again and vomiting some yellow bile early in the evening. I don't have any pain and I feel fine again now. No fever, actually it's 96.9-97.5 all day.

I'm gonna call again tomorrow and see if I can go in for a leak test, just to ease my mind. The sudden onset of the symptoms just alarmed me a bit. I NEVER get sick so I don't think I have a "bug." It's definitely sleeve-related.

Have a great night, everyone! Thank you, again.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
