Rough week got rougher

I mentioned the pain I was in last week. Well it got worse on Monday and has been progressively worse this week. I went to the ER today. I have a 9 cm abscess and a leak. I am about to go in to have drains put in for the abscess. Tomorrow we will be dealing with the leak. Not the odds I wanted to beat!!!

    I am so sorry you have had such a terrible complication but your post, I think, can serve as a reminder that no surgery, including weight loss surgery, is without its risks and complications, some life threatening.

    I hope you have a speedy and total recovery. Good luck to you.

    That does not sound like fun, but it was smart of you to get it checked. Hopefully they'll have you patched up and home soon.
