Oh the complications...

[freemommy×4 65]

I was sleeved on Dec 8th. I felt so great the first week! I was home cooking for my family,cleaning and lost 30lbs! On Dec 15th I had my JP drain removed and it didn't hurt at all.

The next morning is when the pain started. Severe,sharp, breath-taking pain on my left side. Tried to convince myself it was gas...but nothing helped. By that afternoon the fever started. My husband called my surgeon,by that time I couldnt speak,and he said to go to rhe ER.

After running every test known to man they contacted my surgeon the next day. I was transported back to the hospital of my original surgery and as soon as I arrived was prepped and sent to the OR.

The source of the pain was a small abscess they put in a new JP drain...but could not find a leak.

The barrage of antibiotics, tests and pain meds that follwed are all a blur.

But a week later the pain came back. A new much larger abscess was found. In went two more JP drains and out came over 900cc's of infection within a two hour period.

I am currently on a feeding tube...might be there 2 weeks or up to 3 months.

I have a PICC line, oxygen etc. Tomorrow will be three weeks since I was admitted. I missed Christmas and my parents visit from Miami...all a haze to me.

I miss my kiddos so much! I may get to go home next week if I continue to improve and tolerate the feeding tube.

I see some light at the end of this mess! So ready and excited to get back to the fun stage of losing weight and feeling good!☺

I am sorry to hear that. I had a small leak 2 weeks after my WLS and was on home IVs for 2 months. No food or Water or anything for that matter by mouth for 2 months. I actually forgot how to swallow once I could have sips of Water. It all worked out in the end and I am still happy i went through with this. I am almost down 120 now and still hoping for more. Hang in there, it will get better.

So sorry to hear this. I hope you will be well and out of the hospital soon and home with your family.

Here is a quick update:

I am still in the hospital (yikes an entire month now!) which of course has been pretty rough...especially on my kids.

But anyway...they did a procedure today where they clipped and cauterized the hole.

The hole was less than a cm so hopefully this mess is finally coming to the end!????
