Gastric Sleeve Leak

[PRAISE DANCER 2]

I am a 70 years old woman with a staple line leak. Surgery done 1987.leak discovered October 2014 but no doctor warned me about organs failure it had done to me. September 2023 took CT scan show staple leak still there. Now I am waiting for an EDG procedure in Nov, 2023 to find the leak. When will they correct the problem. Stomach problems, Heart problems, Lung problems, SOB on Oxygen, many conditions.

was it a sleeve or a vertical gastroplasty? I don't know if they were even doing sleeves back then, although if so, they're probably done very differently today. Change I'm so sorry you're going through this and I hope they'll be able to find and correct the problem. I would think the leak itself wouldn't be that hard to close up. Hopefully the problems will improve once they do that...

I thought it was gastric sleeve. 1987.

Been over 30 years. Bad conditions I face once they do the EDG in Nov 2023 I hope I can began to heal up.

My Cardiologist will not sign the paperwork for EDG until I get the Stress Test and ECHO Test .

I been diagnosed with COPD and he afraid of that with a Ejection of 35%.

CT show Staple line leak and EDG will where the problem.
