Ok then thats proberly what she has.. They said that they thought it was weird that she had a leak, cuz of how she feels and looks.. No vomit or fever. So they found out that the leak, is lwaking micro and out to NO organs whats so ever. So when she did the pill that turns everything blue. They where waiting to see if it came out of the drain. And it dident. But they keept her 1 week more, just to be sure about how she feels and they hope her leak will heal

Hi everyone new here, just wanted to share my story hoping it will help someone in the future. And at the same time share your experience please. I was sleeved 12/22/15 with no complications week 3-5 post op I noticed how I was extremely nauseous and really didn't want to eat nor hardly drink. I was told it was normal so I figured it would pass..then week 5...got off of work on a Wednesday evening..and had this extreme feeling of cold and shaking to where I could hardly drive..I went home covered myself with 4 blankets and still couldn't warm up. I then had my husband call the surgeon and I then began to puke. My husband was told to rush me in..so we drove an hour to the e.r where my temp was 101.6 and my heart rate was high..I was automatically admitted. Ultrasound, ct scan and they believed I had a leak. Then the next morning I had a swallow test and well..I didn't have one but they discovered I had liquid and air in my stomach cavity. Oh and did I mention I had an infection.(sepsis) I was told I had an abscess or pinhole leak that healed itself. So I stayed in the sticu for 2 days npo, so very nauseous I felt horrible.. I was hooked up with loads of antibiotics and iv fluids...once everything was stable enough for the surgeon I was moved to a less monitored area..I was extremely dizzy and weak so I stayed there for 3 days, and am home as of yesterday...the only thing I am worried about is if there was "fluid" inside my abdominal cavity shouldn't I have had a drain put in..I'm just a tad bit worried as now that I'm home my side is kinda bothering me...any help would be greatly appreciated!!

God bless

He thinks it's acid reflux that is causing my nausea. I feel horrible! I am so weak. I am able to drink Water all day and I can eat light foods like Jello and yogurt but I can't do proteinuria shakes. I just want to feel normal again!!!

One thing I will say is listen to your body..If you feel something is wrong..go with your gut...the place I got mine done at told me it was just acid reflux and all my signs were normal..next week I was in the hospital ...I will admit some progress differently but overall if u don't feel something is right get a second opinion..

Did you have a problem with extra saliva? I do and it's gross. I'm constantly spitting it out because it's so much.

I'm shopping around. What did it cost in Texas? How was your overall experience?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well with insurance and having to go once a month for the 1st 6 months I would say maybe around 1400$...but the actual surgery was $1000+/-..you can go to that link I posted and your can submit ur info and someone will call you back with the detailed information..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
