A friend just had the sleeve done on April 12th next day returned to surgery related to leaking. She went home on 22nd and on 24th was passing food/drink contents through an incision. She is was immediately readmitted and is facing tube feedings via her intestines and if she does not "heal" a complete gastrectomy. The surgeon is going to "give" her 4-6 weeks before making that decision. In the meantime she will go home at some point with home health to monitor her. My advice (I am a nurse) DON'T have the surgery. Vanity is not worth it!
