Congrats on your hard work. You look amazing!

I haven't had any problems...knock on wood!

Hi, I was sleeved on 3/28 and had a lot of complications. I had a leak a few days later and had revision surgery. A few days after I was released from the hospital after my second surgery, I had to go back to the ER. I had multiple infections and was septic and had to have a 3rd surgery. I have since been released from the hospital and am doing much better. I'm still on a feeding tube but am also encouraged to eat so I'll be able to sustain myself once the tube is removed. My stomach was in pretty bad shape and I don't want the dr. to remove the feeding tube if the leak hasn't fully healed. My question is...how do you know if the leak has healed? I had a swallow test done before leaving the hospital. Is that test enough?

Thank you for the advice, swimbikerun!

Thanks Shahada! Swim Bike Run - I was in good health before the surgeries so I was surprised I would have so many complications - 3 surgeries in less than a month. I'm going to take your advice and ask for the medical reason.

Thank you. I didn't have a stent put in. I guess they wanted to try and let my stomach heal on it's own. My mom has been staying with me while I recover and asked to get another test performed since I've had so many complications...just to be sure. My surgeon was against it and I'm wondering if I should push the issue.

I didn't have a pre-op diet..just clear liquids tomorrow. How is your husband doing?

My surgery was postponed till the 31st and it's causing me to kind of freak out... I am sleepless and constantly over analyzing everythingOh no! I hope everything is ok. I believe things happen for a reason and it will all work out. Good luck on the 31st!

Thanks! You too!

I completely understand you. I am on the 25th and have butterflies in my stomach every day and it's like the time isn't passing. But I am so excited Only 2 days away! Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

Congrats & Good Luck! I'm getting sleeved March 28th as well. We can be buddies if you are up for it.

March 28th...can't come soon enough!

I'm getting sleeved on 3/28. Would love a buddy! I'm getting a little nervous but am also excited at the same time.

Good luck! You get to look forward to a whole new life and perspective. That's what I tell myself when doubt creeps in. I am getting sleeved on 3/28 and it can't come soon enough. I'm aiming to be fit by 40!

Anyone from northern NJ getting sleeved in March? My date is 3/28 and it would be great to get to know others in the area to share our experience.

Can you please add me? I'll be sleeved on 3/28. Thanks!
