It sounds like you are getting all the right care to facilitate healing...I hope everything settles down for you soon and your nausea subsides. Luckily you called your doctor early and got this taken care of before it was worse.

Thanks for all your support everyone - it's much appreciated. I didn't make it more than another week past my last post before I started to get a fever again. I called the doctor and was put back into hospital (again!) that night. The next day they removed the stent *relief* and I immediately felt 100% better. My body wanted it out so much, it was such an unnatural feeling. Then I had another bariam swallow and they couldn't see any sign of a leak so I was released pretty quickly after that.

Went back on to fluids and now mushies and I'll see the doctor next week. If I have any advice to anyone post-surgery it's that if you feel nauseated or feverish or put off your food - DO NOT HESITATE to see your doctor.

Very wise advice. Glad you're feeling a bit better and best wishes for a speedy recovery. We all know that this surgery is not without risks but it still surprises some of us when there actually are complications. Being alert to fevers and unusual aches or pains is VERY important!
