  1. I am looking for patients who have been or who are in a similar situation as me. I had gastric sleeve back in June of 2015 and have continued to have a small leak ever since that has NOT healed. I have been on TPN for most of my nourishment but I am able to eat and drink much better now and hoping to come off the TPN in a few days. However, the leak is still there and is causing shoulder/ diaphragm/ chest/back/ pain constantly. Has anyone had a leak this long and if so, did it ever heal on its own? Surely, these random juices leaking out into my diaphragm cannot be good for my body and organs. My doctor has suggested that he may have to go back in and perform a gastric bypass if the leak does not heal but at this point that is not even something I want to think about because of more potential problems. I regret this surgery even though I have lost 74 pounds. The complications however have not been worth it. Any advice or similar situations out there?
