I've heard there are some Dr's that don't use a drain or take them out before you go to the hotel. But from what I understand correct me if I'm wrong, if the drain stays in after the leak test is done, you will also know if there is a leak if you see any blue dye in the drain. That's just what I've read, makes since though.

Dr Garcia did mine and used a drain tube . It stayed in after leak test and was taken out right before we left to go back to hotel ...

I was discharged yesterday and am now at Marriott. I can not say enough great things about about the staff at Mi Doctor Hospital and Dr. Valenzuela and Dr. A ( for short) I can honestly say that besides the language barrier( which is not that bad) that was the best hospital experience I have ever had.. And sadly I work at a hospital that is ranked one of the top 50 hospitals in this United States.... I am so excited to start my new life. I am feeling great and I owe it all to my friends who took such wonderful care of me:-) gonna go out and do more shopping today, then home tomorrow .

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
