Back in the hospital.

So I started running 104.5 fever last night. My husband rushed me to the ER. Turns out I have a small leak. They have me on full IV liquids and strong antibiotics. Dr is hoping that will cure it. If not it's back to surgery. I knew something wasn't right. I have felt awful all week

I hate this!

ugh hope you feel better soon ! :)

Praying they fix you up and you feel better real soon! Sorry you have to go through this.

If you don't mind me asking how long after your sleeve surgery was this?

I hope u feel better too, I'm hoping that I'm not running a temp as well... I'm 2 days post op and just out of the hospital this afternoon. So I'm monitoring myself.

I am sorry your going through this and hope you recover soon.

I totally feel you. A week after I came home from a nine day post-op stay (I was diagnosed with a rare endocrine/kidney disorder so I had to stay a week extra to treat that) I was back in the hospital for a weekend with a severe kidney infection. I fought going to the ER because I had just spent over a week in the hospital and I was miserable and sick of it, but it turned out to be the best thing for me. When I left the hospital I finally felt better! It was worth the hospital stay just to feel somewhat normal again!

Good luck, and keep us posted!

I actually was moved to the ICU last night. I was in sepsis from the leak. It has become very dangerous now.

I'm so sorry. I was in the ICU for awhile too, during my first stay. I was upset at first, but I felt the move was a good thing after a bit because I never felt ignored, everybody was on top of my treatment and able to come help me the second I needed help. They also had access to medications the other hospital units didn't have, and they could order and perform procedures the other units couldn't (that's where I got my PICC line and hardcore antibiotics). I credit the ICU for getting me healthy enough to go home.

I'm sending lots of positive thoughts!

Hate to hear this. I'll say a prayer for you. Please keep us updated and good luck.

I just had a PICC line put in. It is so much better than the IVS. I had an IV in each arm since they were giving me so many antibiotics and fluids.
