I have a leak in my sleeve which has lead to me being on TPN and blood infection. On my 3rd week. Also have a drain in place draining an abscess. I can’t wait to eat again. Anyone else ever experience this?

Yikes! So so sorry to hear you're going through that.

Hope you heal well and are past this rough patch soon!!

How do you know if you have a leak?

Pain fever general illness

How are you doing now? I sure hope things have gotten better for you.

I had gastric sleeve on October 17, 2019. I didn’t know I had a leak for almost 2 weeks. Being on TPN feels so restrictive. I also have a drain on my left side. Saturday will be 4 weeks of TPN. I had a swallow test two days ago, and they said they saw no leak, which is hard to believe, because my drain still collects fluid, and because I take OTC sleep meds that are blue, and the drain has blue in it after I take one of those pills.
I am actually hungry, it’s so hard to be around food.
I never in knew how bad it could be.
I would like to know how long most people are on TPN?
