Sleeve Leak w/stents
VSG on 06/14/12
Wow! You have had a rough time! I had a stent to cover my leak. I didn't have too much problem with mine. My leak was quite small though. I had a lot of uncomfortableness and a bit of nausea but it seemed to subside after a few days. What surgery was it that you had? What did you revise from and to? It was a rough road for me for a few weeks, but with the stent my leak did heal quickly. My husband had a stent to stretch out a narrow spot at the end of his esophogus and he had really bad nausea and vomiting for a few days after and horrible pain in his back behind the stent. I've never seen him in so much pain. It seemed to get a little better as the days passed, but after a week and a couple days they took it out and he was fine then.
