Aww so sorry to hear that you have had such at terrible time of it since your sleeve Zoe ((((hugs)))). Thanks for being brave in telling us your story so far. I do think the bad side if WLS needs to be here on the forum just to show folks that it isn't always happy endings and that things, although rare, can go drastically wrong too.
I hope that the professionals get to the bottom of things for you so that you can start to feel good with the new you xx

It's really unfortunate that sometimes things just don't work out the way we had hoped. Thank you for letting others know your story as sometimes it isn't always rosey like many of us like to think it will be. I wish you all the very best for the future and hope you get better real soon.

AE.

Hi Zoe i'm so sorry to hear of your problems with ur sleeve, I hope your on the mend now?
I hope u don't mind me messaging you but your post reminded me of one of the others on here, some one I now consider a friend. She to has had an awful time with her sleeve. Her forum name is scooter81
And her thread is "leaking like the titanic" it might be helpful to read?
Anyway I wish you all the best and how things return to normal for you.

You've really been through the mill (((hugs)))

I hope they get to the root of the mobility issues very quickly Zoe, and it's smoother sailing from here onwards x

You 'replied' by creating two new threads in the banders section

Flutterby1966 deleted them for you and copied your reply above

Hey Zoe, how are you feeling? Hopefuly a little better and more importantly taking things easy. I believe you've read some of my epic of a post, and just wanted you to know it. Migt not seem like it right now but things will get better. I feel the same as you some days - if I could go back to the surgery date and do it all again, I wouldn't. Now I seem to be over a lot of the leak issues I can see bits of the brighter future that was prommised to me. I'm even fortunate enough to be living some. Of them now and during the darkest times this trial brings it doesn't seem possible. If you want to chat anytime, vent. Ask any questions I'm here as is everyone else. I can assosciate to a degree what your going through and if I can help in any way possible I will try. Keep your chin up x
