I am asking for prayers tonight. I got very sick last night and developed a temp of 101. My surgeon told me to go to the ER to be evaluated. A ct scan and upper gi confirmed I have a small leak. Out of several thousands, I'm the 2nd one that this has ever happened to with my surgeon. Everyone here has always been very supportive and I appreciate any words of encouragement. I'm feeling quite down right now.

Peacequeen, I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this leak -- so what are the next steps? Do they have a good handle on where it is and how to fix it?

Yes, they are. I am being given lots of fluids and antibiotics,,they've cut off all food and drink and put in a pic line. They are trying to keep from doing surgery. It's just a small leak so if I do what they tell me to, we're hoping it will close up. It's a little overwhelming but I'm trying to stay optimistic.

Thanks, everyone. I love this site, I knew everyone would pick me up when I'm down.

LoserMama..I've had pain since surgery so it's hard to tell when it started but last night I had pain beyond pain and a fever so I just felt something was wrong. Thanks for thinking of me,,it means so much. I'll be ok,,just a hurdle.

I am so sorry to hear of your " bump in the road " but do appreciate you writing to let us know so that we can say a prayer and support you in any way we can. We can also learn from your experience. I personally have questions and when you feel up to it hopefully your answers can help many. What day were you sleeved? Have you been able to take in the required amounts of Protein and fluids? Were you in pain and if so where was the pain located? I am 8 days post op, have felt better than expected, take in more than expected, yet woke today feeling sick. Rapid heart rate, blurred vision, exhaustion,dizzy, sort of short of breath and just yucky, but no fever and still able to eat and drink without any tummy issues. I am feeling much better this evening after taking a Tylenol. I will pray for your quick recovery...
