I have to admit I dont believe a word of that story. I apologize if I am wrong' date=' but if she could eat all that in the hospital the doctor would have checked that before she left. I just dont believe this story.[/quote']

It surprises me to hear of so many people who didn't have any post-op leak tests. I had two (and one in the OR).

I also had 2-one just after surgery and one the next morning.

Do we know who this Doc is and where his practice is.

Oh God! Can we just stop posting on this thread!!?! She mentioned the doctor Dr Nain who is different to the doc in her profile. This has been over and over and over. Lets just stop posting here and let this thread die!

I find it amusing that people post in this thread just to point out that ppl are still posting.

Kind of like waking someone up to tell them it's bedtime.

WTG, OTR!! Ya just woke up the baby!! :-)

I find it amusing how irritated people have gotten w this post. So what if people want to post? As long as they aren't bashing others (which many have! W a cast Iron skillet!)

Just unsubscribe if the thread annoys you. :-)

I do have to admit, that threads like this has made the search option harder. Last year when we searched for a topic, we'd get solid info. Now there's a lot of gobbledegook to wade thru making it harder to search. And that's a shame.

Yeah, OTR! I was glad this thing might finally be dead, but hey, now that it's not...

The big issue I have with this thread is that it's a panic button for uniformed people that don't bother to read the posts (you know, the handful of sensible ones in here, wedged in between the name calling and arguing) and it has so many words that will come up in frequent searches.

It doesn't matter if I unsubscribe because I could care less about the nastiness in this thread and I'm not annoyed that it exists, just at way the thread evolved. What matters to me is that as a vet, every time this thread gets resuscitated (like I'm guilty of doing right now), we can expect to get slammed with questions about stretchy sleeves, rapid regains, etc. when there was no real need for people to get into a tizzy. Very few people have the patience to read through more than 21 pages of posts to find the relevant pieces of information.

I I almost forgot I haven't found 1 surgeon who doesn't order a barium swallow upper gi X-ray to ENSURE you don't have a leak that is standard practice in EVERY US hospital

My surgeon doesn't order this and I went to a top tier center of excellence.

I didn't know that there was a higher level of "Bariatric Center of Excellence."

I wonder what other standards have to be met to be "top tier."

I work at a bariatric center of excellence hospital and none of our doctors order this test. Instead you go home with a drain for six days.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
