Current status, tomorrow, doc will put me on a feeding tube for 2-3 weeks. Then will scan again. I hope this does the trick!

Got feeding tube yesterday. It is inserted into my upper arm. Tube goes from my arm, across my chest and down by my heart. It was not bad and they were very thorough showing me how to care for it. TPN is 1520 Cal's. I am thirsty, but cannot drink. I will take this day by day with God's guidance.

Hello All. Well, I have been on the TPN feeding tube now for 2 weeks. It is going fine. Still have tightness feeling in my stomach. Doc watching me close. Lots of blood tests and blood culture yesterday. So far, so good. Next week, I will get CT with contrast and see if it is healing. If it is, I will be on TPN another week and add liquids. If not, then stent is up for consideration. I am praying that it is healed. Anyone else out there with similar story?

Well today I got an upper GI and it is confirmed, I have a leak. Not sure what my options are but I really don't want a stent. Have not been able to eat or drink in 23 days. I am really getting to my wits end.

Oh man :( {Hugs} I can't imagine what you must be going through. Do you have family around?

So glad they've at least figured it out, though...

I'm so sorry for you. I bet you're at your wits end. Did they not tell you what your options were? Ugh, just no words. Hope they fix this fast. :(

Praying the doctor finds the best way to heal your stomach quickly, and for strength for you to get through this.

I just found this thread.. @Goggyween, I am really sorry you are going through this! I don't really know much about management of a leak other than stent placements. Have you discussed other options with your doc?

Please stay strong. You are in my thoughts.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
