Everyone talks about the leak test but no one says how yucky it is. You haven't had anything to drink or est and the. They give u this white nasty stuff and tell you to drink it all. It's pretty scary because you just don't know what to expect. Then it takes terrible and then when you pass it!!! Omg cramps are awful. Am I the only one that felt this way.

My surgeon tested for a leak before I ever came out of surgery, but I have been having some issues with nausea and diarrhea that he is just checking to be safe. I go in on Monday morning

I had no problems at all. Needed to take a few small sips and the xray machine moved around me. Then I wanted to see what was going on so doc had me take a few more sips. The barium wasn't any worse than some of the protein drinks i've tried. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It was so cool to watch my sleeve in action!

I drank the barium for my pre-op test last Friday. I have had WICKED gas since then. I don't know if it was the fizzies they made me drink or the barium. My "stuff" is still coming out a lighter color.... I can't imagine having to do that AFter the sleeve!!!!!! chewbacca in the house... wawwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I am terrified! I have to have a leak test done on Monday! I am already nauseous and not holding things down very well. I am 3 weeks out! Yikes!!!

It might be easier now that you're a few weeks out and the swelling is probably decreased quite a bit. I hope it goes well!
