    I had sleeve, hernia repair and gallbladder removed. I went in at 1 pm and was in my room by 6 pm. Surgery was about 2 hours and recovery was 3 hours. My leak test was done during the surgery, how I have no idea. 3 hours in recovery was due to BP being extremely low.

    I am facing the same procedures. Can I ask how the recovery went for you after you came home? I have taken 5 weeks off of work as I anticipate it will be a more difficult recovery.

    I don't want to scare you but recovery is not going too well so far.

    Surgery was a success, Sent home @ 6 PM yesterday. I called Dr. @ 1:30 AM & he said to go back to hospital for IV pain meds. I Checked with RN @ 8:00 AM & she told me same thing. Spouse & I were exhausted so rested and went back to hospital at 2:00 PM today. The pain meds are making me sleep but not controlling pain. Been here all day, they gave me dilaud for pain, fluids & Vitamins as I'm dehydrated & now I have a UTI. On the way home now from hospital & have to follow up on Thursday with surgeon. All I've had is Water & meds. No Protein at all. Sometimes I can't even keep the water down without having to throw up.

    My surgery is Monday, I've done really well with the preoperative diet until today. I need to do clear liquid tomorrow and for the first week. I've tried Isopure, Atkins Lift & I can't stomach the taste.

    Is there a clear flavorless Protein Powder that I can pick up locally to mix in with broths, Water. Jello, etc. that taste decent?

    Any other suggestions for something ready to drink someone can recommend?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm on month 5 of my journey and wanted to know if I could take all my clearances and weigh in to another doctor. The hospital I'm going to be having surgery in has bad ratings and I just want to be safe elsewhere

    I did, I interviewed 3 surgeons, had some GI issues, went back to discuss the Gallbladder removal with sleeve and hernia repair. I took all my records. The only extra had to do was lab work as it had been several months but even then, the labs were minimal. For me it was where I felt the most comfortable. Surgery is Monday!
