Well I'm a mix of emotions after my 1mo. post-op appointment. Good news first, I have lost a total of 33lbs so far! Now for the not so good news, I may or may not have a leak or an abcess..... On NYE I ended up in the ER with very bad stomach pain & pain in between my shoulder blades. I was admitted to the hospital and a CT scan was done. I was told the scan was clear but my lab work showed I had pancreatitis. I was sent home the next day on a strict diet. My surgeon was out of the country during my ER visit. So today when we met I told him what happened. He looked up the CT scan report & lab work & told me the CT scan shows "fluid collection". He said we need to rule out a leak or an abscess to be safe. I am having an upper GI this wed. please please pray it's not a leak!! :/

I will pray you don't have a leak! If, you don't mind me asking, how soon after you were sleeved did you develop symptoms? On a more positive note...congrats on your 33lb loss; that is awesome!!

I thought I was doing great. I did have minor complaints about a feeling like something was stuck in my throat & I had pretty intense nausea but otherwise I felt like each day I was getting better, then NYE the pain hit me hard & I have not been feeling well since then.
