How we can know if we have leek in the stomach after the surgery

My surgeon ordered an upper gi so I wasn't allowed to even sip Water or anything until the day after and made sure the test went well.

What makes you think you have a leak ?

I also had a leak test the morning after surgery before I was allowed to take anything by mouth....it amounted to me drinking this yucky tasting stuff while they did an x-ray of it going into my stomach............once I passed the leak test I was able to start sipping Water and other fluids.

Like @@jackieemac asked, what make you think you have a leak? Are you have problems?

I did the surgery 3 days back. No i dont think i have a leek but i am just asked ngb

A leak will make you very sick very quickly.....Just make sure to follow your post op eating plan and you'll be fine.....not eating solid foods too early is what will prevent you from having a leak. Congrats on your surgery and good luck to you!!

A leak will make you very sick. Your post-op instructions will tell you to look out for things like fever.

The best way to avoid a leak is to NOT try to eat solid foods too soon after surgery. Follow your surgeon's instructions.

You eat something that looks like this:

I had to have two leak tests. That barium crap is horrible to have to drink.
