I started off coming out of surgery having problems... and 25 days later on feeding tubes (TPN Libids). I have been having nothing but problems. The Upper GI doesn't show leaks, but the pill test won't go down. Everything I try and eat comes back up. After being re-admitted to the hospital, it's now scheduled to have an endoscopy to dailate my limb so I can swallow again. I have to wait 30 days from the surgery date so no stitches rip. Needless to say I am pretty miserable. The pic line, the TPN, the nausea and vomiting. Please tell me someone there is light at the end of this tunnel and when?!?

So sorry you're going through this complication. How frustrating! I hope they're able to get things fixed up and feeling better soon.

Just keep looking forward, there is light at the end of the tunnel it may just be hard to see right now, but you will get there. I will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

{Hugs} It will get sorted out, somehow! Just take it one day at a time. The dilation is the simplest of several procedures they can do to get you fixed... it most likely will work, but if on the rare occasion it doesn't, the doctors have other tricks up their sleeves to get you right.

In the meantime, you will lose weight faster than you would have, and you'll get to goal sooner! (There is always a bright side!).

Don't worry about exercise, except walking around (or whatever the doctors suggest). TPN doesn't give a bunch of extra calories for physical activity. Get plenty of rest, and do what you can to pamper yourself. See what kind of help you can get with your home responsibilities so you can just kick back, and take a nice vacation. You deserve it!
