I'm glad you called your surgeon and went to the ER.

I would also ask why you need RNY to fix a leaked sleeve? Most of the time they just don't let you eat and the leaks heal on their own when you have a leak that early.

Plus your stomach is gone, at this point it isn't RNY, it is a DS.

Did you have a post-op swollow test in the hospital, a barium swallow test?

I had a cat scan where they found the leak and the size of it they also drained out the Fluid. They moved me back to the hospital where I had the surgery done and I met with the attending surgeon last night about what they will be doing for the next couple days. I just really didn't want to hear him say that if the antibiotics and drain tubes don't fix the problem then I have to undergo another surgery the gastric bypass I feel this is to much. I left the hospital from having the surgery wondering how come this wasn't found before I left. I actually stayed a extra day due to me not being able to eat on my second day cause of pain and they let me go on the third day cause I ate one spoonful of broth and didn't complain I should have been checked to see why I couldn't take the food. I guess the should of and why they didn't is to late now cause I'm back in here for the leak. I just pray they get it fixed where I won't have to undergo another surgery. But I sure will ask why I would I have to go through another surgery to fix this. Thanks for the support.




So sorry this happen to you and my prayers going up for you.
My surgery was 3/27....no complications at all other than dehydration. Thus week I have been feeling very tired and.l notice I have a small leakage in my naval and it has an order. Don't know this is normal or not. Calling Dr today.

Did they do a leak test at all after surgery? (Just curious for my own future experience)

They saying if the leak doesn't heal the way they plan because just about a half hour ago I got the picc line put in and that's what's going to help me get better they will be feeding me all my Protein and nutrients and all the things I need and also they will be placing a stint in my stomach. The reason they would do the RNY is if I got worse and which they told me today I will be in here for a couple weeks I told them I dont care how long it takes just get me better. So hopefully and praying all goes well. Will keep updating daily my progress..

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
