Sleeved on 9-27 with no known problems. Follow up on the 10th showed I was dehydrated so I got two bags of Fluid and went home. 11th I was trying to get all my liquids is and after second bottle of Water I had chills so bad so I took temp and have a mild temp of 100.5 (230 pm). By 315 my temp was up to 102.8 so I called Dr and they asked me to come in. 2 more bags of fluid later my temp was not down and my heart rate was staying steady at 114-116 so they admitted me to hospital.

Catscan revealed an air pocket outside the stomach that fluids were going into and then back. Now I have a picc line for nutrition/hydration and standing by to see if it will heal itself. This whole time I was thinking I'd be here a couple days max but it is sounding like a long term deal from everything I am reading, please pray for improvement on next Catscan I don't want to go thru another surgery if at all possible!

i had astent placed through my mouth & into my stomach. made me soooooo sick! i didnt eat for over a month and i threw up bile about 12x a day. it shifted 2x and i had 3 emergency procedures for them to fix it. smh.

That is the next step if the Catscan shows no improvement, going in thru the mouth and placing a stent or clamp on the leak..........

Jasleeve - how far out were you when they discovered the leak?

i wish they wouldve chose this option for me! instead' date=' for my leak they placed a stent which made me incredibly incredibly sick![/quote']

Agreed. had a leak as well and had to deal with the stents . HELL.

So sorry to hear about this. I had a leak exactly 14 days out too and had the same onset of symptoms as you . I am Praying for you . You WILL get through this. Have faith.

Heading down for another test to see if there are any signs of healing! Fingers crossed, if there is some healing, doc says I can maybe go home this weekend with a feeding tube installed......... Never in my life did I think I'd be wishing for that!

praying for you to heal quick and be home soon, x

Praying for a speedy recovery.

So sorry to hear about what you're going through. Keeping you in my thought and prayers for a speedy recovery. Wishing you all the best. Hugs.

K9qt,

I hope your CT results are good. Thanks for sharing your story. It's always good to know what to look for in case of a leak.

Hopefully you will be able to continue your journey soon without more complications.

Wishing you the best of luck and quick healing!

I've read that leaks with vsg is 2-5%, but that's not a good measure. It really boils down to the surgeon.. I asked for my surgeon's readmission and mortality rates beforehand. Don't be scared to request that!

Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way...

Praying for you!

im so sorry to hear this!! praying for your speedy recovery!

sorry to hear this... My prayers are with you. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Praying for a quick recovery for you. I am two weeks out today, does anyone think it's because we can finally eat a little more? This morning I ate a scrambled egg and it was not enjoyable. I felt like I was going to puke it up but I didn't. I'm kinda scared to eat. In the hospital I got the hic-cups and the RN told me if I got a mild case it was just gas BUT if I couldn't stop the hic-cups for a length of time I probably had a leak. I don't think I had a leak test. How do they do this?
