Hi all,

I've been in the hospital since last Sunday night. Upper gi shows 2 tiny preforations. In my surgeon's words 99.9% of what I drink does not leak. He wanted stents put in right away but I lost it. They made me miserable last time. He mentioned two types of surgery, bypass or repair with glue. The surgeries would not be done laprascopically. Right now I'm npo and on picc line with tpn. Pain has improved and having another upper gi on Monday morning. Not sure what to do.

I'm so sorry you're having to go through all this. You're so very close to your goal, though. We can't let this be any more than a bump in the road. (fingers crossed)

I found stents to be miserable too! I don't have a lot of good advice on what to do. I refused to have the bypass because I was terrified of it... that's why I didn't have it in the first place. I've had glue put in several times and it didn't work well for me but doing that in an EGD suite was much less invasive and finally after 8 months my leak appears to have sealed. Best of luck to you, and I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this. I've been right where you are and let's be honest, that **** hurts!
