Last night I was counting the hours till daylight to rush to ER. I couldn't close my eyes for 2 minutes without feeling stabbed. I truly wished I'm dead. So, in the morning I called my doc and told him about my unbearable pain. Plus, I was having a mildly high fever so he urged me to run to the emergency. So I did. And they scanned my belly and analysed my blood. And they discovered I having a small leak on my sleeve!!!!! 2 days ago I was at my doc's and everything appeared excellent. Now I'm back to case1. I'm gonna have to stay hospitalised for 1 week! But the treatement is through iv and antibiotics. No more surgeries according to my doc. I'm soooo down. What shall I do with my kids in the meantime???

I'm glad that you are getting the help that you need and it happened in a timely fashion.. Even better news about not needing another surgery. Just take it a day at a time and don't be timid about asking family and friends help with your children..

Oh wow! I'm sorry to hear you have a leak! But I'm so glad you are getting medical attention! And that's good news that you won't need surgery to fix it. I agree with Laura, don't be shy about asking for help with your kids. I also agree, take it one day at a time, you will get thru this! Sending a prayer your way! :)

small leak on my sleeve!!!!!

elpaso73

OH NO!!!! :angry:

i'm so very sorry. :(

staying in the hospital for a week :(

iv, antibiotics - if doing this, and you will be fine - worth the inconvenience of the hospital stay

hopefully no more side effects/problems

being down, depressed now - i can only imagine how you must be feeling

wish i could take the kids for you (seriously) and put your mind at ease

hopefully you have family - mom, siblings, friend that will come to your rescue????

i'm sure someone can understand the severity of your situation - and help out

even if people alternate - couple of days mom comes over, then one friend, later someone else

you should/must have help once you get home

you will be recuperating - and you need your rest - and some help too maybe

good luck hun

take care

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
