My VSG was 4-4-17. On or about 6-4, I developed a bad middle back pain. Around the 9th, I noticed severe cramping when I ate or drank. On 6-13, I had blood, x-rays, urine, ultrasound and CAT Scan. All normal, but CT Scan said, "adjacent to the greater curvature of the stomach suture line is inflammation within the mesenteric fat and a focal fluid collection either within the gastric wall or adjacent to it measuring 14mm which could represent an ulcer creator or post operative leak. Since I am not nauseous and no fever present, they sent me home, liquids only with Cipro Antibiotics. For 3 days, I have had about 100 degree fever and pain is still there when inhaling. Scared I may have leak. Not sure what is ahead of me. Lost 45 lbs. And was feeling great until this.

Just updating, doc said CT shows no leak, but some swelling, so it looks like it is healing! 2 more weeks on TPN

Wanted to give my sleeve 6 weeks to heal before starting back on liquids and slowly adding food, so still on TPN for another 2 weeks but Monday 7/31 I incorporate liquids. Prayers please

{Hugs} this is the longest road for you, but you are such a trooper! Have you gotten used to not eating or drinking? I bet it will feel strange when you start again...

You have been through so much. So it's healed? I can't wait to hear how you do on liquids. I just feel so bad for you. You're a strong person. xo

Prayers liquids go well for you and you can begin eating soon.

I am glad the leak is fixed. Sorry for your pain and living out my fear of a leak. We all go in knowing it could happen, but hoping and praying it doesn't. Best wishes for a speedy recovery
