You still have not said what test they did when you went across the street to the hospital? I am really unclear on exactly what test ? Xray etc. they did to have told you this? Please clarify so we can understand better what happened? This is kind of spooky I have never heard of this before.

The barium test is a standard practice among surgeons who specialize in gastric surgeries. It is the best way to ensure there isn't even the slightest leak. It's done within the first 24 hours this way if anything is even detected they can fix it asap instead of waiting for the problem to come up later on. I knew about having the test before I had the surgery it was explained to me ahead of time.

This is no longer true. My surgeon performs the leak test immediately after creating the sleeve, while the patient is still on the table. There was no barium test after as there is no need for one. I have seen many others here say the same.

After reading a bunch of insignificant banter, I don't understand why so outrageous comments. The OP definitely has something wrong going on. She came here to share here story in hopes of support maybe a similar story to hers. I had to read a bunch of pages to see if she had found out anything from the second opinion. I'd be upset if I were her. She is seeking out professional help. I would hate for this thread to be closed as I feel for her and want to know the outcome. One thing I have learned through my journey is not all doctors plans and procedures are equal.

I believe I had at least 10 ounces of liquid on my tray the morning after my leak test. Was dying of thirst and was not allowed anything by mouth until that test was done the day after. My tray had a double popsicle, Water, tea, Jello and broth. It may have been a cup of each. I had the broth, all of it and the popsicle and as much water as I could handle. No Protein at all. I don't think chicken bullion is really substantial protein. I was told to get in my fluids and as much protein those first two weeks but not to fret over it. One only can do the best they can. I was told to really get the protein in after those 2 weeks.

Seems like the OP was following her plan, but could obviously get in much more than the typical post op sleeve patient. I don't think seeking out here for some constructive support is wrong. She's scared and frustrated. I wish her all the best and a good answer to her problem. Yes, it is hard to comprehend her situation, but strange things happen in surgery. Rare, yet there's always an odd story out there.

I do hope she posts an update!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
