You have a leak at 7 weeks out? Have you been nauseous or running a fever? I'm so sorry to hear this. I sure will pray for you. Sorry you are having to go through this.

I'm so sorry to hear that you are having problems. I don't have any experience with a stent. Did you have symptoms that lead your doctor to diagnose a leak? Hang in there!

Do you have any idea what caused the leak?

I thought at 7 weeks out a leak was not very common??

Yeah, I've had a really rough time after my surgery. I had a splenic infarcture and when the pain stopped I was still having crazy nausea then last week I kept throwing up food and couldnt get much in. 3 weeks ago it wasn't there when they found the spleen thing, we thipnk it may have been coughing up stuff cause it was hard and I doubled over in a LOT of stomach pain after. The leak luckily is EXTREMELYYYYYYY small

      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.
