Has anyone else had a leak... Here is my story

[suzbitt 0]

Had surgery November13,2014 on December 11,2014 I had the worse pain ever in my left side and left shoulder. Went to Er and found I had a leak. I had surgery that night to try and fix, but Drs decided to put a stent in on Dec 23. Living with the stent was the worst thing ever! I was in the hospital for 20 days released on 12/31. Living with the stent you were nausea all day/night long. I would throw up 2-3 times a night! I finally got my stent out 7 weeks later and now starting on Clear Liquids. I didn't eat or drink for the entire time, I was on TPN and had 2 drains coming out of my stomach. I am hoping and praying things are better from here on out, just curious if anyone else had a similar situation.

@@suzbitt, I did not have any leaks.

But, I just wanted to say I'm glad you're out of the hospital and doing better. Sounds like you had a horrible experience. so sorry you went through that.

Hopefully from this point on, everything will go smoothly.

Best of luck to you.

So sorry to hear about your leak, but glad you are on the mend. I didn't have one, but there is a complications forum you might want to check out. Lots of stories there. Also, there are lots of people here who did have leaks and have good recovery stories.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!
