8 weeks out and possible additional surgery

by mjlaur on 10-24-2012 at 06:53 AM
So 8 weeks out lost a total of 43 pounds which I am happy with. What I am not happy with is a leak that has developed along the incision line. Weird thing is it was not there after surgery appeared at about 5 weeks and it also developed it's own sac . So I leak out of a hole in my stomach into some kind of a sac. 3 upper GI's no improvement with going back to liquids for 10 days and now terrible pain and gas when I eat or drink. One more upper GI tomorrow and then the surgeon will make a decision.

leaking 6 weeks post up

by mjlaur on 10-02-2012 at 06:34 AM
So I was having trouble eating and drinking so Doc did a upper GI and it seems my new stomach is leaking into some kind of a enclosed something outside of my stomach??? Have to go to see the surgeon next week to discuss my options. This was not there when they did the leak test post op but appeared 6 weeks later. Anyone have anything weird like this??? It is not leaking into my abdominal cavity so no risk of infection but it is going into something that no one seems to know what it is.

So Ihave been having a issue eating for the last 2 weeks. Thought maybe I was pushing things although I knew I was not them thought maybe it was hte surgery gas....have to see my surgeon tomorrow they think I have a stricture. That would explain why I have lost 30 pounds in 4 weeks post op the nutritionist was a little concerned today lol. Anyone else have a sctricture? and how did they correct it?

4 weeks out and still having issues with eating

by mjlaur on 09-12-2012 at 01:38 PM
I am still struggling with getting enough protein and fluids in. Whenever I eat or drink I get a pain in the middle of my back. Does not happen every single time but most if the time. Not sure if I am drinking or eating to fast or too much at a time but I do not think so. I started adding fruit to my protein and making a smoothie out of it. It takes me 2 hours to drink 8 ounces. I do not feel like eating anything but I know I have to so I try to get a hard boiled egg and maybe a ounce or 2 of chicken

severe pain in the middle of the back when eating or drinking

by mjlaur on 09-06-2012 at 06:35 PM
I am 3 weeks out and this just started today. Anytime I drink or eat anything I get a severe pressure pain in the middle to upper part of my back. I don't even want to have anything because the pain is so bad. I thought maybe it was gas so tried Gas X and that did not work...any ideas or suggestions?
