    Ok, so the stent is okay. How long do you have to have it? I know it is painful but you will get through this. There is a guy on this forum called "nomorefatguy". He went through total hell and to this day he doesn't regret it. Look him up. He is really a great guy. Where do you live? I am in So Cal. Sent from my XT1650 using BariatricPal mobile app

    Hi Kyle, what do you mean my your 2nd stent? How long will you have it? Are you still on puree foods? I also have an abscess or a leak. I have been on feeding tube for 6 weeks. If I am not healed, I have to get a stent. I hear they are very painful. Are you doing okay? Sent from my XT1650 using BariatricPal mobile app

    My VSG was 4-4-17. On or about 6-4, I developed a bad middle back pain. Around the 9th, I noticed severe cramping when I ate or drank. On 6-13, I had blood, x-rays, urine, ultrasound and CAT Scan. All normal, but CT Scan said, "adjacent to the greater curvature of the stomach suture line is inflammation within the mesenteric fat and a focal fluid collection either within the gastric wall or adjacent to it measuring 14mm which could represent an ulcer creator or post operative leak. Since I am not nauseous and no fever present, they sent me home, liquids only with Cipro Antibiotics. For 3 days, I have had about 100 degree fever and pain is still there when inhaling. Scared I may have leak. Not sure what is ahead of me. Lost 45 lbs. And was feeling great until this.

    Gastric Leak for 6 Months - Help!

    Goggyween replied to Greta Griggs Hannah's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    My leak is not yet fixed, but it looks like it is healing. I have been on a TPN now for 4 weeks, no food, no liquids to give my pouch a break and to hopefully let it heal and seal on its own. I am going to be on it for two more weeks and during the 2nd week, start slowly on liquids only. Then, if I can transition to thicker liquids and slowly ease into soft foods. CT scan shows my leak is healing, but very slowly. Please keep me posted. It seams like most people post what they are going through but they never post the outcome and results, which makes this site very frustrating. Sent from my XT1650 using BariatricPal mobile app

    Can you please share with me how your leak got fixed?

    Has anyone healed from a Sleeve leak just from being on TPN?  I am so afraid of putting in a stent, I am thinking that I might heal just keeping the TPN.  ??

      Occasionally people don't need a stent, but the majority do. 2/3 of the time stents take care of the problem without additional complications (stent stays in for 6-8 weeks, comes out, and recovery is non-eventful). The other 1/3 of the time is when additional procedures are needed (more time in a stent, the stent doesn't stay in place, etc.)

      You might want to ask what kind of stent they want to use. The self-expandable, covered stents seem to be pretty good... if they expand to fit the sleeve, they are less likely to migrate.

      Do your research, ask lots of questions, and be comfortable with the knowledge and skill of your surgeon. Second opinions are valuable (it might be hard finding someone to take on a complication-case though.. doesn't hurt to ask!)

      Good luck!
