What does the leak test consist of

It's an upper gi. You drink barium and they watch on an X-ray. You probably had them frequently if you had a band. My surgeon says they aren't doing them routinely anymore.

My doctor does outpatient but you're there several hours.

Mine will be outpatient at the surgery center across the street from our hospital, but I will arrive at 9am, they will keep me for 23 hours, and I will leave at 8am the next day, so technically it is an overnight. I'm self-pay, so they said that makes it significantly less expensive for me.

I was outpatient - had surgery at 10:30 but for some reason, wasn't able to go to the bathroom. They sent me home with a catheter and I had to return the day for removal. All good now.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
