Wowser! So sorry to hear of your beginning here. Hopefully as you say it is onward and upward. It is good for people to read the good, the bad and the ugly. Have to admit that I am glad I had already done my surgery before I read this sine I had the same surgeon and hospital! Good luck with your future journey!
Wow, I am very glad u r feeling better. Thank god u trusted ur instincts and told them to have a look. I too had trouble breathing due to gas in my ribs, it brought me to tears. I was scared something was wrong, but it did go away the second night. The hospital is no fun, I hated it. Glad you r home, give urself extra time to heal, and get better very soon.

Wow what a story--so thankful that you had a wonderful Dr. who looked after you above and beyond!!! I to had a leak (not as sever as yours) and went back for a 2 hour surgery and then home with a drainage tube for a month-- but this too was a temporary situation and today all is good--keep your head high and walk and talk and sip and walk and talk and sip--lol
take care of YOU at this time- the rest will come later
