Sleeve in Nicaragua 12-13, some bleeding

[hamitchell 15]

I had a very good result all told except for a persistent capillary

Leak at the left port site. No stomach pain, just burping

And mild discomfort. Not much nausea. I expected much worse.

Maybe i benefitted from 5k running program for 1 year prior surgery.

I walk pretty easily, just move slowly. Doc wants me to just

Lie about for rest of day and see if leak wont close.

Nothing life threatening, but might require another scope to

Fix.

Another thing that saved me is going diet coke to Water joe to

Water the last 2 months. No headaches or malaise post surgery.

Nicaragua is beautiful and fairly cool in Dec. nice to be here

On the mend with wife's friends y family.

Oh I gained 10 lbs on IV's so dont expect immediate results!

Were you a revision from band? Otherwise I cant figure out why you would have the bleeding at the port site?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

No revision. The surgeon now thinks the trocar hit a big a large cap . And the

Walking around, up steps, didnt help. I have been in bed most of the

Day and bleeding stopped. Just need to slow down.

Very nice of him and asst. surgeon to make house calls. Doc lives

Down street from where we stay near hospital Pellas.

Just drinking slowly today!
