Looks like I'll be in here until Christmas at least. Woo. This surgery has so far proven to be the biggest mistake I've made in my 25 years of life.

I am sorry for the problems you are having, I hope all is figured out and you are on the road to recovery very quickly. Sending prayers your way and hopefully in the end your opinion of having this surgery will change and it will be the best thing you have done. :}

How awful. I hope that they are looking after you in the hospital and that you are feeling better. Can you share with us what happened?

I hope you are able to recover soon. What kind of issues are you struggling with regards to sleeve?

Yes, tell us what is going on, please!

I had my surgery on the 19th. Came to the ER with chest pains, they diagnosed costochondritis and sent me home. Came back 11 days ago and they did a CT scan, saw an abscess and they admitted me. Had emergency exploratory surgery to see what caused them and drain the leak. It wasn't until yesterday they found a leak. I'm on strict NPO, and TPN (have been since admitted) and will be for at least a minimum of two more weeks. Then they'll do another barium swallow and check the leak's progress. Then discuss a stint. Have a drain, had an ng tube, etc. Even with my comorbidites it wasn't worth this.

ugh im so sry!

I know it's rough..I spent 12 days in the hospital for my leak. I spent Thanksgiving in the hospital on TPN.. it wasn't fun. I felt the same way you do, that the surgery wasn't worth it. Two weeks later my attitude has changed. While I don't regret the surgery anymore I just wish I had a better outcome. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

So sorry u r going through this.......I work with a woman who had been sleeved this past april and had similar issues ans was in the hospital for almost a month......she still says today that getting sleeved was the best thing she ever did for herself and she would do it again......

Sorry to hear of this! Hope you are feeling well and keep us posted on how you are doing.

How are you feeling today? Any news? I was thinking of you;)

I just wanted to come by again and thank all of you for your kindness when I needed it most. I'm not yet on the "I'd do it again" bandwagon but my attitude is much improved

Thanks you guys, it really meant/ means so much

I still have a few random issues with esophageal spasms and soreness where my drain was but other than that I'm fine. And of course, I'm a slow loser haha. But I'll take it! -57lbs. Actually just a few minutes ago I was trying on some clothes before I sent them to Goodwill. I actually fit in the dress I wore to my high school graduation.
