I had my surgery on September 13th. I had a leak after surgery. I was in and out of the hospital for 30 days. I still have a feeding tube and a drainage tube in my stomach. I was just wanting to know if anyone else had this issue after surgery and how are you doing now.

My gosh, so sorry for all you've gone through! I am happy you are on the other side and getting back to a "normal" life. God is good!

Sorry to hear about all the trouble. Hopefully the leak will close on its own, that's the best case scenario. The feeding tube is giving that time to happen. If it doesn't they hopefully can converts to a bypass. I'd imagine the leak is at the staple line (typically that is where they are). Did they diagnose it with a CT with oral contrast or a barium swallow? (They thought I might have one and we did th CT).

Hopefully you're at the tail end of it.

Dr. Credi, Granger Indiana.

So very sorry to hear of your troubles post op. Is Dr Credi a general surgeon or does he specialize in bariatric surgery?

Also, are you saying that you were released from hospital after blood transfusion for unknown reason. Later returned to hospital and was diagnosed with a leak?

This is very scary and I do hope that you are finally on the mend.

My gosh! Bless your heart

I am so sorry you've went through all that and still are! Your faith in our Lord is amazing. I can't say I would have been so ... I don't know the word. I don't know how I would have gotten through what you have. That is horrible. Was it malpractice or a mistake on the part of your surgeon?

Inbox me if it was. I am fighting for my late husband now on malpractice via lawsuit

I pray that you're well and can get to the place where you don't regret this decision. I hope you get there and I hope you lose again

Listen, I don't normally do this, but would you like to be friends?
