Stents are out ! Throat is raw from them being pulled , but all in all I feel a lot better without them. The area where the leak was is sealed but is very thin and delicate so I will be on Clear Liquids for a while . Doctors said that my body needs Protein to heal , I will be starting on the Isopure today . I have heard that it is gross , but wish me luck! I just want to be healthy again ! If anyone has a leak and needs someone to talk to about it I am 100% here for you ! It is the hardest thing I have physically been through and it is. Very emotionally Trying. Don't hesitate to message me !

You totally rock, sleevealicious...what a strong person you are! I know its the toughest thing you've been through (I can't imagine) but omg, you are THE woman! Get in that Protein, girl...your body needs it a lot right now...i got some samples of Syntrax Nectar that wasn't half bad, and I ordered some packets of a diet fruity Protein Drink that got good reviews, from Bariatric Choice (wonderslim I think?). They've got broths and other stuff too...check it out online, in case you can't stomach the Isopure. Good luck :-) Your sleeve is gonna be the sleeve of steel soon, so just relax, heal, think positive, and you'll be rocking that sleeve with a new bod in no time

Don't worry about it you will be fine. I went through the same thin a little worst.

Ask your dr to give you medicine for nausea; I used to take it. When laying in bed try to have an almost sitting position. I also used to take Medicine for the acidity they sell it over the counter but you have to ask your dr.

Once they take them out you will feel great with no pain. If your pain is too much you have to tell the dr. I was in a lot of pain and they have to remove them after 2 weeks because they were scratching my stomach giving me ulcers.

If your sleeve dr doesn't put attention to you; you want to call the dr who put the stends.

I'm so sorry! I can relate a lot to you (age, birthday, surgery date). You are in my thoughts and prayers! :wub:

Thanks, purplicious! Update: Once the stents came out after almost four weeks of being in, I felt so much better other than the monster sore throat and esophagus for about a week. I am now on mushies and am doing so much better. Those stents were absolutely miserable , but they saved my life so I am glad that I had them now.

Oh, thank God! It is so good to hear from you! I'm overjoyed to know you are doing better!

wow we did have much the same ordeal only they used a claw on me verses a stent

i never knew how much a person could be hurt getting healed! are you out of the woods completely now or do you have more time to heal completely?

i was 45 days between the first surgery and release from hospital to home (22 days hospital) i still feel bloated and uncomfortable and i always feel like i have popcorn stuck in my throat (damage from the nj tube) i will bet you can relate!
