I'm dreading this as much as I hate the intensifying chest pain I've been having for 10 hours. Uuuugh. Just hope it's nothing major! Fingers crossed for the ever embarrassing "it's just gas" diagnosis.

Bleh.

They caught it quickly and that's really good news! Some people linger for weeks with Leaks. You will get lots of support on here. What area of the U.S. do you live?

Pls keep us updated.

Hugs!

So sorry to hear you are going through this, please keep up updated.

Liz- when was your surgery?

I'll be praying for you.

So sorry your having this happen!!

Alright my second guess was right' date=' it's another costochondritis flare up. Without being able to take the NSAIDs I need, they're sending me home with Tramadol and I have to ice my sternum every hour. Uuuugh. Oh well, nothing I haven't dealt with before and at least it's not a leak!![/quote']

Hello.

Glad to hear you don't have a leak. Did your costochondritis get worse because of surgery? I have costochondritis as well.

Wishing you wellness,

Sannah

Sorry about your leak. I'll be praying for your speed recovery!!

Oh my god liz! Our whole towns internet was down yesterday so I didn't see this until now. You were not supposed to be joining the Leak Survivors team honey!!!! I had you slated on the Smooth Sailing team instead!

Tell us when you are able to how you're feeling. I will say Liz that I was almost immediately "better" once the second surgery was completed. I felt like people are supposed to feel after their first...it was amazing and I'm hoping you'll have the same experience my dear. I know its scary but if well wishes and loving thoughts help, you have lots of them coming your way!!!!!

I wish I was there to give you a hug...I feel so badly that you are having this awful experience

Liz, I'm just sending out some love hun. Hope all is well. You're on my mind!

Liz...one of the most powerful lessons is listening to your own body and being your own strongest advocate (when possible) so I applaud you for going in to the ER and seeking treatment, even after you were told initially that you did not have a leak. Hopefully they will get the leak under control quickly so that you can resume your recovery.

Thoughts and prayers going your way.....

I'm worried about her If you are only reading Liz (I hope so) please know you are in our hearts and minds! Do what it takes to get better hun! We are here if you need to talk! (Even when high on massive drugs....some of my posts were dang near impossible to figure out without significant amounts of dilauded.....so I've learned to read dopey) Love ya hun!!!!!

I know. I'm new and it's scary. I prayed last night and this am. ????

Sorry dde4f was supposed to be an emoticon of hands. :-/

Very Dosed. I'm alive. Ng tube out today. Endoscope and ct scan say there's no leak to be seen now but was probably caused by committing early out. Will update later. Thanks guys
