AnaBanana 63 Posted January 26, 2014 Anabanana You are a trooper and I pray everything had healed so that you can resume a normal eating life. I was sleeved on 1/7 had to stay in the hospital 1 extra day because of the nauseousness. I was sent down to be checked for leaks and everything was good. But over all I've been feeling pretty good beside the pain I've been having in my left shoulder/neck. I went to the dr today was check, and Dr said its not surgery related Thank God, so they prescribed me a muscle relaxer. good for you. i think you will be very happy with your surgery. i am very happy to have had my surgery, even with the leak. i'm grateful to be alive and not have gotten really sick, and i can't wait to have this heal. i'm thinking positively. now if only i could have a bm. i'm pretty impacted right now and have tried many many things lol. last thing i got here is an enema to try... just staring it down at this time... not ready for it yet.

tiffanylovesthebeach 6 Posted February 1, 2014 AnaBanana, Your journey sounds nearly identical to mine. After I was sleeved on 12/10, my leak was discovered on 12/22. Contained Leak fOund on CT scan. I have been back to the hospital a couple times since. Once for 12 days and once for 7 days. I am now at home on an NJ tube and IV antibiotics via PICC line. I have my Upper GI and CT scan on the 6th, the day after yours. I am praying that your leak has finally healed and you can resume a "normal" life. Dealing with a leak is really discouraging because of the lengthy treatment course. I hope that my leak tests on the 6th go well too. I am so tired of living this way. I just want to be free of all the tubes and be able to drink a sweet tea Over the last week, i Have been feeling really hungry and getting depressed over it. Today, I actually chewed a piece of fajita chicken for a minute and spit it out. It actually made me feel a little better. Pitiful, but it did help. Good luck on the 5th! Keep us updated.

CoffeeGrinDR 148 Posted February 2, 2014 I read a recent article (I want to say it was the Journal on Bariatrics) that indicated one research study found that glue was the optimal intervention on leaks instead of a "surgical" response. Hope it goes well for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
