Well I had the 1% uncommon pouch leak 8 days post op.  The pain was unbearable.  I just knew things were not right after surgery.  I was not feeling right inside had alot of pain. 

Went to ER had another surgery where a large hematoma was found. No active abdominal bleeding thank god.  5 days after that surgery I developed a leak.  I had a g tube in place for feeding and axion drains to drain any fluid that leaked in my abdomen.   Believe me it was scary for the first 2 weeks. 

I had nothing by mouth for 8 weeks, no food, no water, just ice chips every once in a while.  Made me crazy.   

I had a procedure done where little clips were inserted to cover my hole.  It work and finally I was able to do clears and some soft foods.  Just came home last night, having alot of anxiety.  So my pouch is brand new again, just like post op.  I am frustrated with all of this, can you blame me?  Good news is I have lost 25 pounds, even though I was on a 1200 calorie tube fed diet.  To be hones at this point I dont even care about the weight.  Maybe in a few weeks when I am feeling more myself I will, but for now, just wanna feel better.

Well I am finally here after 9 years of battling this weight, tomorrow is the day that I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I expect to be in the hospital until Saturday.  Wish me luck!
