My thumb is pointing to the leak. My white blood well count is down to 12, from 24, and 10 is normal Fever is gone. Stint is in place for 6 weeks. I am in three antibiotics and hanging in here. Stint

One have it and some do not. What has happened for you at 100lbs lost? Is the skin in some places livable? Does the skin affect what size clothes you wear? Maybe your the lucky one without excess skin? Do you think you did something to help this? Lots of lotion? etc...

How has the sleeve affected your marriage ? Especially when your husband doesn't want to loose weight ( but supports your journey). The good? The bad? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hello!! I have had a leak and I am going through a lot with the sleeve. I am wanting to find someone who has been down or is currently going down this road. It's rough. I have been reaching out and receiving amazing support from other sleeved friends Dec Sleevers are nothing short of AMAZING!! I think it would be nice chat or text with someone who has been here.

Something is showing up in my sleeve. Doctor doesn't know what it is. Do you? Have you seen these? They are the swollen ripples in the photo and bile that should not be present. I have pain in the sleeve, nausea and trouble eating.

I love would to have you on Facebook. I would love to see your journey and share mine with you. www.facebook.com/sannah.sannah.12

I am on Facebook. Find me at www.facebook.com/sannah.sannah.12 I can't wait to see you guys there!!!

Oh yes... No biopsy. I shall ask about the fundus.. This would be so great!!!

Hi, I saw the dr Friday. I also had another upper gi that indicated things are the same. Ulcer over leak site, masses in sleeve. Also showed that my sleeve empties slow. I still vomit frequently and I am learning to adjust to this new normal. Dr said to give it a year. So I am half way there!!! Masses should go away, vomiting should be considerably less if not diminished. Labs show I not absorbing Vitamins like I should be. So I am still using injectable a that I administer at home. Drinking and eating is painful. Yes, even Water. The dr said to drink Smart water because it will go down easier. She was right and this means I am better able up stay hydrated, which is super important given that I have developed kidney stones through my leak. Honesty, I am not sure what to think of these masse and just waiting it out. In a way I worry, but I am also SO tired of everything. Trying to stay focused and give all my positive energy to the "good" in this process Thank you for all the love and support.

Just b1 for now.

I take B 1. I get injections one a week. I give it to myself.

Hey All, I am going to post updates on my Facebook page. My name is Sannah Sannah. I never had Facebook until I had the sleeve. My account is dedicated to health, wellness, nutrition and exercise. My Facebook is true to my experience. Today has been a tough day and you'll see that on my Facebook page. Please add me if you like. I would love to follow your success Best, Sannah

UPDATE talked to my surgeon today. Looks like everything that is wrong is from my leak. Ulcer is lame. Those masses are damage from my stents. She expects that will go away in a year. Misplaced bile is from all the trauma from the leak. It's also making me sick. It's great to have her explanations and it sets my mind at ease... But I still wish this wasn't he case. I can't change it... So I will adapt.

Aww Liz!! Your the best!! I am sorry to hear that you have such anxiety troubles. Gosh, that must be hell!!! I am sure it has l been exasperated by your leak. Sounds like liquid is your coping mechanism and it allows you to function better/ get to a healthier mental place. I need this... Thank you for talking to me about this. I just feel so nuts. I can't seem to gain mental control of the feelings of fear. I just can't take anymore steps backwards. Only forward!!! My family is fighting hard to get me to eat and I just can't do it. I don't know that they understand why, even though I tried to explain. They have not been down this road. They have been by my side and seen me through it all. But they have not lived in my physical world and experiences. So I think this is why they can't fully relate. I know they are concerned for me and I am thankful for this. But I also have to find my sanity, without it I am lost. I don't want to be a HopelessWanderer ( haha Mumford & Sons) I will surely heed your advice and get into more intensive therapy. It's not fun for me or anyone to live this way. How often do you find you go back to liquids? I am thinking I should so this liquid diet until the ulcer heals. Then I should be back into a golden spot. Thank you for taking time from your weekend to write and share with me!!! Best, Sannah

I am having some emotional trouble. The dr who put my stents in/took out and helped treat my leak told me if the tissue is compromised the area can re-open. Leak!!! I can't bring myself to eat. I am afraid the area is compromised because of the ulcer. I am feeling scared and paralyzed by fear. I don't want to leak again or endure anything similar to a leak. It was pure hell and I am desperate to do anything I can to prevent a leak. I feel in distress!!! Food just doesn't seem like a viable option for me.

Happy Mothers Day!! I hope so as well!! I am feeling bummed and defeated. I was told my sleeve was abnormally small, so it would be weird for any normal parts to be left behind. I am going to ask to be sure. This would be a great solution, because it would mean nothing is wrong. This would be so great!! thanks for telling me!! a little hope!!

Darn Vst. The photo isn't working. What is Rugae? I would love to know what this stuff is.

I am going to ask because I need to know what to expect in the future. What is they get larger!!! Yikes.

Hey,still pretty out of it from drugs. I wish I knew more. I was given another medicine to help. I take something 6 times a day to keep things at bay. I hope I can eat. I hope your day is good!!

Verdict is in... I have an ulcer over my leak site. I also have some abnormal growths or swelling. They appear raised and rippled in the picture. I also have bile in my stomach that should not be there.
