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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
