I hope you get this all worked out soon so you can get on with it.

I am a bit disappointed that your surgeon has not followed up with you. They are supposed to know best how to fix complications like a leak.

Stay strong, history says that those who start out with a complication end up doing very well at the WL !!!

Jackie-

     I can relate. Your experience and courage are guiding others.  I was sleeved 05/27, at which time I also had a hiatal hernia repair. As of today, I am still unable to swallow even saliva. I came home with a PIC and hydration two days ago. I switch to TPN today. I'm sending positive thoughts.

Thank you all for your replies and encouragement, I have been so nauseous and throwing up, had CT scan on Tuesday and Barium swallow today.  Definitely have another leak.  Waiting to hear from Dr's to see what the plan is this time.
