03/28/01 I had my surgery LAP RNY on 1/23/01, my leak was detected 2/1/01. Anyway....my leak was discovered just as I was starting back onto soft proteins when it was noticed that the food was going into my drain. My doctor indicated I was lucky that I still had in my drain as it would minimize the risk of infection. It has always been difficult to get my doctor to commit to specifics. Basically it would be a week by week process of upper GIs and doctor visits. Oh yes....only liquids....broth, Jell-O, protein drinks, etc. My doctor lets me have yogurt and also Optifast that I had left over from a year ago. Finally talked my doctor into grape juice tests in lieu of the upper GIs. Well I still have my leak, so I'm looking at 9 weeks. My last upper GI was March 19th, my next is April 2nd. Please share your experience with me. I have not yet talked with anyone else who's had a leak....need someone who can relate! Melanie Clark [email protected]

Deniece, I hope all goes well for you. Remember, your body has gone through an enormous change and I'm hoping this is just a little upset for you. I will pray for a speedy recovery. You know we are all thinking of you.

ANGEL UPDATE!! Deniece is home with her family. Her DH called me this afternoon to let me know she had made it home and was thoroughly enjoying the Percocet she was prescribed for pain at home. Apparently it works better for her than the morphine did. She was asleep when he called ... knocked out from the pain and meds. But she is doing well. She is eating pureed foods and is well on her way! HURRAY! Denice ... much love hun!! I'm so glad your home and improving moment to moment. You are in my thoughts and prayers!

ANGEL REPORTING! Deniece finally had her "10 am" surgery at approx. 1:30 PM yesterday. I called the hospital early this morning and low and behold she answered the phone. If I didn't know any better, I'd say she never had surgery! SHE SOUNDS GREAT! She also wanted me to pass on that she's sore, tired and feels like Mike Tyson punched her in the stomach. She hasn't been up for a walk yet, but was hoping to have the strength a little later today. The nurses managed to get her to sit up on the side of the bed, but she was pretty dizzy. Way to go Deniece!! You'll be home in no time at all!!!

ANGEL REPORTING!!! SURGERY UPDATE ... I was told by Deniece, her surgery would be at 10 am this morning. However, when I called the hospital at 11:30 hoping she was in recovery ... I was told she was waiting to be taken to the operating room. Apparently her surgery was pushed back to 12:15. Please keep her in your prayers and stop by her surgery page to wish her well! THANKS!!

I just know you will do great today and that you'll be in recovery in no time flat! Maintain that calm!!! LOL!! You are an amazing woman ... See you soon!!! Love, Support, Hugs and Kisses ....
