Leak Test
@@amyecpa They use barium sulfate. It's two chemicals mixed together,Barium sulfate is in a group of drugs called contrast agents. Barium sulfate works by coating the inside of your esophagus, stomach, or intestines which allows them to be seen more clearly on a CT scan or other radiologic (x-ray) examination. Barium sulfate is used to help diagnose certain disorders of the esophagus, stomach, or intestines.

RE recommended sleeve but Bariatric surgeon recommended RNY. Help!
@ You make the decision that you can live with. I originally thought I was having RNY and my surgeon said sleeve, he said it's just as good as the RNY without the malnutrition I would have to live with and less complications. So see Surgeons all think different so you make your own choice.
