I hope you feel better soon. I know this has been a real scare, but thankfully they caught it. My prayers are with you.

I was told that bypass was an option for me also. First option was to let it heal on its own, which is the choice I picked and so far so good.

A leak can be caused by several reasons besides food. Don't beat yourself up over a nacho whatever you do..very doubtful that caused it. Keep us posted,,I'm right there with ya girl..I'm home but still on tpn and antibiotics (thought my line would come out today but nope)

Oh I am sending lots of prayers! Hang in there! KNOW that many people will try and say you did this to yourself, etc but that isn't the case! I know you have been taking care of yourself - these things happen, possibly was there from the beginning and the symptoms just took a while. Feel free to message me if you need to vent.

I had no idea that yellow bile was a symptom of a leak - guess I had that one! No one seemed too concerned about it at the time. Ugh. I didn't have a stent, he did talk about it some, I think that was going to be the next step when I finally had a good upper GI showing my leak was healed. I wasn't offered the bypass - LOL honestly probably would have jumped on it at that point I was so freaked out. Glad they didn't give me the option. I probably would have went nuts with a roommate at that point. I highly recommend checking the difference in semi-private and private rooms - it cost me $180 for a week out of pocket my first stay, 2nd stay apparently I was sick enough to justify it and they paid 100% for private.

(((((HUGS))))

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
