Pregnancy after gastric sleeve leak



Recommended Posts

I've never really posted anything before but I'm very worried. I'll try to keep it short. I was sleeved on 8/31 and was hospitalized 9 days later with a leak. My surgeon essentially freaked out, didn't know how to proceed and left me in the care of another surgeon who was able to help me heal, thank God. I was hospitalized for 2 months and had a drains for a total of 5 months before I healed. The process was hell for myself and my family, a complete roller coaster where I was told one day I was close to healing and the next that I might need surgery and that I could die from it. I thought my ordeal was over by then end of January, 2017 but now it turns out I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I'm so scared that I'll leak again somehow and I know a baby wouldn't survive the medical regimen I was under. My surgeon abandoned my case and the one who helped me heal was only seeing me for the leak, I don't follow up with him anymore. Thanks for reading my super long post, I guess I'm just looking for support and I'm wondering if any of you have heard of someone leaking again after healing. Thanks

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

      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! 😞
