Why are you stressing?

Did you ask your surgeon about his statistics? (Have any of your patients developed a leak, when, how many? Mine had none. He had to repair one from Mexico.) Are you following your Dr's plan? Are you having issues?

The doctor has not had any leaks. I am very healthy other than being overweight. I was not given a pre op diet plan. But am following one that I found on line. I guess I'm just stressing over the un known

Leaks are rare. I have met many people with the sleeve and they have never had a leak. As long as your surgeon has great stats, you will be fine.

My gastric sleeve is in 10 days. I started stressing over the possibility of a leak. Has anyone here had a leak?


The day after surgery you should have a leak test that's ordered by your surgeon, it will ease your worries ( but the solution you must drink is horrible[emoji21]) plus your probally just nervous over thinking the procedure because your getting close[emoji41] good luck you'll be fine!

They ARE quite rare, and when they do happen, it's usually very small, and with appropriate treatment, they get better.

The main thing YOU can do is to follow your postop diet to the letter (and if it seems like it progresses too fast for comfort, you can always go slower than the diet).

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
