Not gas a leak

I'm glad you called your surgeon and went to the ER.

I would also ask why you need RNY to fix a leaked sleeve? Most of the time they just don't let you eat and the leaks heal on their own when you have a leak that early.

Plus your stomach is gone, at this point it isn't RNY, it is a DS.

Did you have a post-op swollow test in the hospital, a barium swallow test?

I had a cat scan where they found the leak and the size of it they also drained out the Fluid. They moved me back to the hospital where I had the surgery done and I met with the attending surgeon last night about what they will be doing for the next couple days. I just really didn't want to hear him say that if the antibiotics and drain tubes don't fix the problem then I have to undergo another surgery the gastric bypass I feel this is to much. I left the hospital from having the surgery wondering how come this wasn't found before I left. I actually stayed a extra day due to me not being able to eat on my second day cause of pain and they let me go on the third day cause I ate one spoonful of broth and didn't complain I should have been checked to see why I couldn't take the food. I guess the should of and why they didn't is to late now cause I'm back in here for the leak. I just pray they get it fixed where I won't have to undergo another surgery. But I sure will ask why I would I have to go through another surgery to fix this. Thanks for the support.

So sorry this happen to you and my prayers going up for you.
My surgery was 3/27....no complications at all other than dehydration. Thus week I have been feeling very tired and.l notice I have a small leakage in my naval and it has an order. Don't know this is normal or not. Calling Dr today.

Did they do a leak test at all after surgery? (Just curious for my own future experience)

They saying if the leak doesn't heal the way they plan because just about a half hour ago I got the picc line put in and that's what's going to help me get better they will be feeding me all my Protein and nutrients and all the things I need and also they will be placing a stint in my stomach. The reason they would do the RNY is if I got worse and which they told me today I will be in here for a couple weeks I told them I dont care how long it takes just get me better. So hopefully and praying all goes well. Will keep updating daily my progress..
