can't stop crying. been in here since Thursday had 1 cat scan 1 drink video an no leak. Then as the fever continued I stuff in my JP DRAIN had another Cat scan yesterday's and it is a leak. Soo now I have to have a endoscopy put stitches and a stent in for a few weeks. Have a pic line already set. I hate my surgeon now and I am so sick of "we'll see". attitudes. am am so scared an I can't stop crying! Am I going to live?

Sending you a HUGE hug!

Wow. So sorry. Where did you have your surgery?

Offigo, I'm no doctor and I pray everything is fine. I've read where others have been fine once the stop the leakage so you will be too !!

You are going to live hun..The stent is to heal the sleeve around it...Sometimes they leave them in and other times they take them out after the incision heals..Most likely you will wait 6 weeks before they even think about removing it...The pain is bad I know I had 2 of them..One for 6 weeks and then they decided to add another one on top of the first......

Make sure they give you nausea meds and pain killers...You will feel like you are full all the time...Some people have it worse then others.....Stay calm...There are a lot of things they can do for you.....I have had it all done to me......I am 11 months out, and almost 6 months out of the hospital.......Stop crying hun.....You will be okay..

If you want me to talk to you..message me and I will be there for you during this time.....

NORTH SHORE LIJ, everyone e is awesome excepts dr. He blew me off last week and had no f'n clue how to deal with a patient. Just flood and kind of resents questions... I think I want the other dr in the practice to take over.

Hope everything goes well for you!!! Was the fever the only symptom you had?

I am so sorry you are going through this right now but listen to RJ'S/Beginning she has been through a lot and can help you. Be a strong advocate for yourself and keep that doctor on his toes. He needs to hear your concern and respond appropriately to it. If he doesn't then let him know he is letting you down. Hang in there and please keep us posted with your progress! I hope you heal quickly and again please talk with us to help you get through it.

I am so sorry. I have not had a leak but have seen others here who have. It seems to be a really miserable experience but one they have come through. Sending prayers.
