Gladys62 64 Posted June 2, 2015 Jennifer, I'm SO glad that you are better. I had the lung issue also including a chest tube. My surgeon ignored my issues with acid and I got so irritated in my lower esophagus and pouch that the GI doctor couldn't get a scope in much less me eat anything. I do thank God that I didn't have the leak! There is hope. I promise. You are alive now and will only improve. If one doctor doesn't listen keep going. My surgeon is a cold hearted jerk so I now rely on my family doctor and a new GI specialist who is wonderful and is NOT fond of my surgeon. Anyway, it does get better. I went into a pretty low place and had to remind myself that I am all my two teenagers have to keep myself fighting. I fought and the past month has been great. (That is compared to the previous 4 months. I was sleeved 12/29/14.). You will slowly feel better so be patient and don't push too hard and do NOT stop fighting. You will wake up one day and realize that you are past the hurdle and coasting. Stay strong even when you don't want to. I promise it gets better!!! I'd hug you if I could because I can relate to your frustration and pain. I'm so sorry you went through that but you are here and headed home. Things are getting better!
