I feel fluish and nauseated. I haven't thrown up. I've read about leaks and shoulder pain. I don't have the shoulder pain yet. I've taken my pain med and nausea med from surgery time. It's helped a little. Just feel under the weather.

I've never seen this thread until today (kind of glad). I hope everyone is doing better. Scary stuff.



I am doing great. Down 145. Very active life. It was hell but I am good now.

I had a leak that did finally heal after 8 long months. I feel your pain about wanting to drink something. I also had to have the TPN. I pray you heal quickly. Hang in there.

Did you have the TPN for 8 months? I have had mine for almost 4 weeks and am going crazy, also, not losing any weight on TPN, did you?

I have a leak also it's been 8 months I had the tpn I'm always in the hospital with pain on my left side and goes to my shoulder it's been horrible so my doctor has been trying different treatments nothing works so now he wants to do a bypass but he says he may need to remove my stomach I'm so scared I was told it's a high risk surgery and that I can even die . So I'm going for a second opinion at woman's and infants hospital in Boston hopefully I'll get a better answer I don't want to have my stomach removed completely.

Please keep us posted on this, I am going through a leak situation and am worried.

Celeste,
I had my stomach removed for a leak. It ended all my issue, all my pain and life has become almost normal again. It is a painful surgery but I am so glad I did it.

Is removing your stomach like a bipass?

Very similar but a much more involved surgery and since a bypass leaves some stomach still being used you have more nutritional deficiencies. I am coming up on 2 years with my stomach removed (it's called a total gastrectomy). My life is pretty fantastic. Feel free to add me or message me on Facebook. I spend a lot of time helping people through the process. My name is Tim Bretthauer. My pic is a minion. I would be glad to help.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
