Success stories about leaks

[shortydk 3]

Hey everyone.

Im new in here. Im looking for answers to a few things.

My girlfriend her her Gastric Sleeve operation in Greece the 31/05 - 2016. Everything went well, and she was up and walking around within 2-3 days. We then went home and she started loosing weight and everything was good. Then 9 days post surgery, she started having left shoulder pains. Then we rushed to ER with 40.2 celcious fever. They admited her, and they did a xray, and they dident see much. Then the day after they thought it was a leak or an abscess. So the CT scan was right. She had an abscess close to the liver. They drained it, and they did a "air test" and there was no leak. Then she was on hospital for 7 days, only on a feeding tube. 3 days ago they did a swallow test and it showed a little liquid out of the stomach. So they put her on feeding tube again. They say its micro problem, and the leak should heal up by it self. So my question to everyone. I seem to only hear all the bad "took 20 surgerys and 8 weeks on the hospital" stories.. There must be success stories.. Bring em on!! I need something to smile at

Btw her infection (CRP) numbers where 379. Now they are almost normal.. She is around 20 now. A bit of infection on her tonge.. Guess that needs to be fixed before her numbers are all good

Ya i know. I havent heard about it either. But they saythat the leak is so small, that it will heal on it self. Plus the leak is at a place where the Fluid fosent run out in any place to hurt her. But they rather be safe then sorry, and keep her on the hospital for safty
