I had a gastric sleeve on August 31. A leak was detected a week later. I've been NPO for 7 days and today will start TPN. I feel like I'm going to die. It is the worst pain and naseau I've ever had in my life and I've had numerous kidney stones and 3 back surgeries. The leak is 2mm and as of Friday it has closed 50%. However, I feel worse today than I have since the procedure. When I vomit it's either a dry heave or bright yellow bile. I know the vomitting isn't helping the leak. I've been on dilauded and zofran for 3 weeks. Has anyone had a leak? What was the treatment? I've lost 31 pounds in three weeks. At this point, I feel I've made a huge mistake that can't be taken back. Any encouragement out there? Would love to hear from people who have experienced this. :cursing::scared0:

Tiifykins, Thank you for sharing. That makes me feel some better.

I wasn't asking for comments on his success rate, I was asking for people who have been where I now am to let me know how they proceeded and progressed. Thanks for your improper question, anyway.

I did not have the band first. My doctor has been great through this and had bent over backwards to provide me with the best care. It's the first leak he has had in over 50 cases. Thanks for the encouragement.
