How do you know if you have a leak ?



Recommended Posts

Here's what I found as the symptoms from another site

Symptoms of stomach leak include: rapid heart rate, dizziness, shortness of breath, fever, worsening abdominal pain, left chest or shoulder pain, abdominal distention, the appearance of illness and a general feeling that something is very wrong. Unfortunately, many of the symptoms may be absent or could be from something else (e.g. bleeding). Diagnosing a leak is further complicated by the fact that there is no single, reliable test to definitely diagnose a leak.

Hope that helps, and hope you just asking out of curiosity and not because you might have one

I have the same question. I heard if I have one I will know, but how soon? I've heard your stomach has limited nerve functioning and u might not feel a rip. I have been eating soft foods. I am 13 days out. I didn't try them until after my 1 week visit and never a lot. Sometimes I feel a bit weird, like a gas pain or a bit of nausea. Soon after it goes away. My just scared now

I felt pretty good yesterday iam one week out all my pains are except the left side hurts when breath in and starting to get a little pain in my left shoulder. I took some gas x and some of the pain on the left side of me chest has subsided. Is it just gas?No fever no dizziness. I have been doing things to the T! I am freaking out a little as usual. Down 28 lbs in 7 days.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
