I didn't have a leak test outside the operating room. I also had no drain tubes or anything. I think it is really weird how we all are having the same surgery and so many different things and procedures are done. Makes you wonder!

You did not even chew on the blue ice? In sure they tested you during the surgery though.

Nope. No blue ice chips. No drain bag....I don't know how he did a leak test. Is nausea normal? Do ya'll have it? Today has been my first VERY bad day.

How do you get 64 oz in with "small sips" my paperwork says 4-6 oz an hour. I feel like I could drink faster but dont know if I should

They check for leaks during the surgery. They fill your new pouch with air, then put some saline solution in your belly and press the pouch under the liquid to see if any bubbles escape. No bubbles = no leaks

I've seen many people complain of nausea. You should let your doctor know and he can prescribe you some meds for it (Zofran).

If your surgeon has you on liquids then stay on liquids...in the long run its just not worth the risk!!!!
