Another hospital stay - 10 weeks out, home with pic line for TPN and drain - My horror story
I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. I am hoping there is a light at the end of the tunnel very soon for you. Stay strong and hang in there!!!!

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 !!!

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.
