Please Not A Leak!

I've read all the threads on leaks I could find but none of them confirm the symptoms I'm having.

I look a little yellow in the face, I feel weak for more and more of the day as time passes and every morning I cant eat or drink anything without feeling crazy nauseous. I get a pain on the left side of exactly the middle of my back and sometimes my left side of abdomen but I thought that might be because thats where my big incision is. I tried for last 2 days to get in touch with my surgeon and tgey just keep telling me to wait for him to call. This is so frustrating, I used to be able to get all my liquids and protein in even a boiled egg, but now I'm scared to taste anything until evening time. What could be happening? I take my acid medication twice a day but it doesn't help maybe I need something stronger?

Please tell me this cant be a leak im horrified and I'm only a 22 yr old guy and 19 days out of surgery.

My initial recovery was great aside from obvious energy shifts and incision pain. This started 4 days ago and wont stop

    Let me first say, I did not have a leak and certainly don't have the knowledge to say if you do or not. What I do know is, if you're scared or think something is wrong, please follow your gut and have

never had acid reflux untill I had surgery. I was so bad that I had to sleep sitting up at night. dr put me on dexilant once a day. (program right now that it will only cost 20/month) and it is GONE. I have tried to go without it and if I dont take it for even a day I can fell it. They say you can have it up to the first year. good luck

I'm so sorry to read this. I am glad to know it's not a leak, but hope that your physician can prescribe something that will work to provide relief if the OTC's don't do it for you.
