I am an August sleever that has had a leak since the surgery. I had a stent placed a few weeks ago and I just have no desire to eat. Im basically living on percoset and water. I keep myself very hydrated but Im starting to get very weak and shaky from not eating. The only thing I can seem to keep down is slim fast when I can drink it. The doc seems to think im going to need surgery again to close the hole. Im sick to my stomach 24/7 and in constant pain. Ive even quit my job bc I can no longer function it seems like. Im just in a really bad place. How do I eat when all I do is throw up, I don't even want to look at food let alone eat it. Im just getting sicker and im actually scared about how much weight ive lost. Its been 9 months and ive lost a little over 150 lbs. Im currently about 178 and I really don't wanna lose and more weight. anyone else going thru the not eating?

That is so terrible, I feel completely for her I did have a bariatric specialist, actually hes supposed to be one of the best bariatric surgeons in NJ. What is a dobhoff tube? is that a feeding tube? I hope she gets well, god speed.

Beagle, they don't want to give me iv nourishment, they just keep trying to force me to eat but like I said, that's the LAST thing I want to do. And Lumpy, my husband suggested the same thing, ensure. I think Im gonna pick some up today.

I know eactly how you feel. I had my surgery in August 27 2013 and I have a leak as well. right now I have an esophageal stent placed to help resolve it but he's fairly certain ill need surgery again. Im so diiscusted and pissed off... I just want this nightmare to be over with. I haven't eaten in 7 days except a few sips here and there of a protein shake but I have no appetite and im in constant pain. Everyday I wake up and lay in my bed, I had to quit my job because I cant function at all. Im so depressed everyday. I have a wonderful support system but I just cant get back to being me. Im sick and tired of being sick and tired. Ive lost over 150 lbs but I still wonder, was this all worth it? - Nicole
