Thank for your replies... You were right I ended up in emergency room .

I never felt this bad in y life. Like zombie, not eating for 10 days and not drinking even Water I was unable to take.

And the cause I had a whole stomach infection, abscess as big as 3cm , and a leak and with all this I had NO PAIN the doctors were wow. But really I didn't feel pain that's why I was not concerned about leaking bcoz they say the first symptom is stomachache .

Anyway I'm under heavy antibiotics, they sucked out the pus,nothing by mouth for one week. I'm feeling a lot better but scared for what might come next.

I'm praying god that this will the end of the suffering.

Now 13days in hospital. I still have nothing by mouth I'm on feeding tubes. All wired I feel like frankenstein . It's not fun anymore but I read it's still a long way ahead. I'm so depressed coz I don't what to expect : they say thery are gonna put the stents but I'm still waiting. Will it heal? How long? When are they gonna remove the drains? All these questions with no answers. It sucks when you feel you have no control. I still have only 8kg to lose to reach my target weight I have lost 20 kg so far ...please those of you out there who had a leak, tell me how did you do?

Oh my what a trial you have been through. I am saying a prayer for you right now. Just a quick question...doesnt your doctor come by atleast 1 time a day. Ask him/her all your questions and keep asking until they have an answer. I have learned that if the medical staff treating you cant answer a question now ask them when they will be able to tell me...like can I get the drains out...they may say not until you are no longer draining Fluid. Or how long does the average patient with a leak stay in the hospital? For now try not to be down. It isnt like you did anything wrong you just need to let your self heal.

I am so glad you went to the ER when you did and I am so sorry to read you have a leak. It is surprising you had no symptoms especially since you were so far out. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thank you all for your support. It's uplifting you have no idea

Yep no symptoms can you imagine? , no vomitting at first,no shoulder pain, no abdominal pain, no nothing. I was hsving little discomfort after eating but i said to myself maybe i ate too much.That was the problem and the doctors were like wow I had Only fever and since we had a flu around the house I said maybe I got it...the only indication is that my eating was diminishing little by little until I couldn't eat anymore and I started vomiting.

I did another GI no leak apparent but the doctor told me to be in the safe side we gotta put the stent. And I'm waiting because it's not available it's coming from US.

I have a release now in the evening to go see my children. I'm doing fine over all. Yesterday I went shopping I stayed out for 5 hours and it went fine. Let's take it day by day.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
