Girl Girl Girl! I am so sorry about what you've been through! Wow... Thank God you're on the road to recovery. Do they know what happened to cause your leak? I hope you are not staying alone -- you need moral support! You do have a great attitude though....

Keep us posted as much as you feel up to it!

Take Care!!

Hello!

Good evening!

Not sure why or how I received a leak. I don't blame my surgeon or myself. This took a little while. For a while I questions if I was a bad person in the past life to deserve this. I am at peace now, be a use I really I am okay and going to live!! . It took a while to get here, leaks come with a lot of emotions.

I am so lucky!! My husband has a great job and was out of work with pay for a long time!! My husband was by my side every single day and night jn the hospital. He left to eat inly if a family member was by my side. My mom, sister and Dad have spent many many hours at my house taking care of my 16 month old daughter. I am SO thankful for all of the support from my family friend s and December Sleevers!!

Wishing you wellness!

Best,

Sannah

A dull ache in my low back. Then one night of chills and sweats. When I saw for surgeon for this she needed to do all the testing to be sure. But she said there was no way I had a leak. I looked too good and appeared healthy!!

So you never know. I have learned that I know my body best. Glad I received prompt medical care. Always better safe than sorry!!

For some reason I can't get my post to work. Fingers crossed for this one!!

I had a dull ache in my low back for a few days. One night of sweats and chills. But I looked healthy. When I saw the surgeon, she said there was no way I had a leak. I looked too healthy. I hoped it was the case.

During my entire treatment she kept saying how hard this was because I looked so healthy. She kept me in the hospital for an extended stay and lots if treatment.

If I can say anything about this leak. It's listen to your body. You know it best. I am so glad I listened to my body. My experience was long and painful. However always better safe than sorry!!!

I am wishing you the best!!

Hello!!

I have no idea why this leak happened. No. Just the full ache in my low back and the one night and chills and sweats. It was odd!! Other than my back I felt fine. I was living my life and consuming liquid.

Treatment of leaks is brutal. Stents are miserable!!!

I am so much better these days. My sleeve was done dec 5th. Today is my first day on PURÉES!! I still require medical attention from a few doctor. But I am not hospitalized or going to treatments everyday. It's so great!!

The leak was and Still is causing pain and trouble. I wouldn't wish this in anyone. It's a tough road!!!

I hope you never have to endure this. I wish you smooth sailing!!

Best,

Sannah

Left photo the stents after removal. I had two because they put one in and it migrated down. So I had a second procedure.

Right is a photo of the opening in my stomach and I think insertion of my first stent.

Hello!

Your message was so heart warming to read. Thank you for writing me! I am so thankful for all your kind words.

Congrats on your sleeve!! Are things going smoothly for you?

If that's you in the photo you don't look like a grandma!! 19 months!! Aww so sweet!! These little bundles of joy are just amazing!!! I can only imagine your granddaughter is so sweet filled with energy!! I know my daughter is walking and it's crazy!!!

Hell and back yes and I made it!! Those stents are very very painful. My sneeze is generally small, with those in it was deep, low and like a lion. So weird. In order to have those stents in place I required a lot of medical care.

I am so happy to hear from you!! I am wishing you the best!!! Thank you for supporting me. I appreciate this!!

Best,

Sannah
