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
