No, I haven't had any tests at all post-op. I have to say though, that I think it may have been my hemorrhoids bleeding, they do that quite often. If I had a leak I would be extremely unwell, tachycardia, tachypnea (high heart rate and respiratory rate), hypertensive initially - as a nurse I know I feel too well to have a major leak at this point, but that's not to say it couldn't happen in the future! I will ask my dr about some evaluation though - I didn't have a swallow study either!

How do I give a thumbs up or add a new post on here? I want to give you all a "thumbs up" simply for taking the bull by the horns and making your future healthy self a reality! I'm an RN, 9 days out VSG, nothing but problems - I spent an extra 4 days in hospital due to nausea/pain spasms, came home for 3 days, back in the ER yesterday having IV fluids, spent last night having major diarrhea with my first bowel movement in 10 days (curse you, Milk of Magnesia!) and lost around a liter of RED Fluid, now it's morning and I'm feeling a lot better. Yes I know I lost blood from somewhere and I should have gone back to the ER but at 4am I just couldn't do it - I'd had enough of hospitals. More diarrhea just now is a normal color. Anyone else on here having bowel trouble?

Hey y'all,I had my sleeve the 25th and had gained because of IV too but dwn by 13 today so lost the 6 I had gained plus 7 more still on clear liquids. I am amazed at how little pain and discomfort I have had as well as thankful.
