Yes, that is what he told me, I didn't make it up and I certianly didn't misunderstand his answers. I asked him directly how leaks occur and that is the response he told me. Thanks for your input, as I will discuss this with him.

I am pre-op and spoke with my surgeon about this today! He said the only way a patient can get a leak is if they do not follow the diet accordingly. He said that most patients start to feel better quickly and they think they are well enough to start eating small pieces of food, but the stomach takes approximately 6 weeks to completely heal inside, no exceptions!! Follow your doctors instructions and you should be just fine You will know if you have something wrong....#1 you ate something you weren't supposed to and #2 you start feeling extremely ill, vomiting, fever, etc. Good luck and I hope this helps!

Surgery is set for 2/22 and I'm really nervous. I don't want to focus on all the negatives that could happen, but my anxiety is taking over....any other people out there feeling this way?
Protein Shake
in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Posted
Ok, I'm sure there are about 100+ topics out there on this. I'm on day 1 of Clear liquids before my surgery on 2/22. I have never had Protein shakes before and the one I had today made me gag every sip. I need to hear your recommendations on some great recipes or brands. Again, I'm on the pre op clear liquid diet, so no fruit combinations. Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks All
