What Can Cause A Leak?



Recommended Posts

Isaacsgram' date=' I was sleeved Sept 28. I hope you find out soon what is causing pain. It blows my mind because I have felt NO pain whatsoever. Even in the hospital, the only pain I felt was the stinkin drain. It was horrible. My surgeon must have done an amazing job because as my husband would tell you, I am a wuss. I pray you get better really soon..[/quote']

Thank you. Funny, I thought I had a high pain tolerance. Ironically my drain didn't hurt one bit. I was very active preop, now I feel like an invalid.

I to am wondering what can cause & when a leak can happen. I'm 4 months post op and have no problems (thank God) until now. I've had pain off & on sometimes when I eat and noticed if I do my abs durring a workout it hurts where my left side drainage port was. Any similar stories? Can you get a leak this far post op?

I am also 3 wks out and still have pain. I also have high pain tolerence. Lots of health issues before I lost weight. Having pain after eating(mushies) or drinking thick Protein Shakes. I also have pain when stretching or moving a certian way. My Doc says it's taking longer to heal because of revison from band. Ready NOT to be in pain. But glad to be rid of band.

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

      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! 😞
