How do you know if you have a leak ?



Recommended Posts

Here's what I found as the symptoms from another site

Symptoms of stomach leak include: rapid heart rate, dizziness, shortness of breath, fever, worsening abdominal pain, left chest or shoulder pain, abdominal distention, the appearance of illness and a general feeling that something is very wrong. Unfortunately, many of the symptoms may be absent or could be from something else (e.g. bleeding). Diagnosing a leak is further complicated by the fact that there is no single, reliable test to definitely diagnose a leak.

Hope that helps, and hope you just asking out of curiosity and not because you might have one

I have the same question. I heard if I have one I will know, but how soon? I've heard your stomach has limited nerve functioning and u might not feel a rip. I have been eating soft foods. I am 13 days out. I didn't try them until after my 1 week visit and never a lot. Sometimes I feel a bit weird, like a gas pain or a bit of nausea. Soon after it goes away. My just scared now

I felt pretty good yesterday iam one week out all my pains are except the left side hurts when breath in and starting to get a little pain in my left shoulder. I took some gas x and some of the pain on the left side of me chest has subsided. Is it just gas?No fever no dizziness. I have been doing things to the T! I am freaking out a little as usual. Down 28 lbs in 7 days.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
