How would I know if I had a leak? Just curious... My surgery was 4 days ago

Usually a low grade fever. Some pain in the shoulder (which may still be gas). Just watch the fever.

The surgical center I am going to have never had a leak in the 8 years they have been doing sleeve surgery. It's very, very rare. I agree, fever over 101 is an indication of something...not necessary leak, but something. Good luck. My surgery is tomorrow morning.

I was told temp, chills vomiting non stop. they said if i could not keep anything at all down including water to call ASAP or if I had any of the other things.

So I am a few months away from my surgery and my mom calls to tell me I might have 'soft tissue.' My grandma had surgery when she was younger and the staples just tore right through. Then my aunt had the Bypass and the same thing happened to her. So although I am not letting this stop me, at all. Now I have the 'what if's' stuck in my head. Leaks scare me.

In the first page or two Sannah tells of get whole experience, including the symptoms she had. It is a very interesting story, and she had some unusual symptoms.

I am a leak survivor.

The entire ordeal was miserable and 4 months out I am still coping with the complications of a leak. Most importantly I am feeling human again

I thought I would quickly write to you because it's very important to me to share information with you and others.

Leaks are crazy to endure physically and mentally. My leak presented as a dull back ache located low back. I had one night of rigor and sweats. This important because I was/am in tune with my body. I knew something wasn't right. My best advice is for you to listen to your body (always!). You know your body best!!

I went in to the dr and was told there was NO WAY I had a leak I looked TOO HEALTHY!!! But the surgeon did blood work and a ct scan and I had a leak!! I was not notified of my leak. I was walking the hospital floor to kill time while I waited to hear back that I didn't have a leak, when a bed rolled up to take me into surgery for my leak.

If I can share anything it's listen to your body and what you feel. Your friends and family love you and want you around! Always better safe than sorry.

I am wishing you wellness!! May your journey be smooth and uneventful unlike mine.

Best,

Sannah

I'm sorry to hear of your leak Sanna. I'm glad you are doing better. How far out we're you when the leak was discovered?

Hi!!

Beautiful new photo!!

I am hanging in here! way better than before!!

I am riding the stones out at home. If I need help I will seek it. Dr said I can have ER surgery if I need to.

I am better able to manage the kidney pain since receiving treatment for esophageal spasm. I have. Been eating and keeping food down! it's so amazing!!

How are you?? How is everything going?

Best,

Sannah
