I was sleeved on 2/9 and I didn't have a leak test either. I am super worried about it even though I have had a very easy recovery, so far. I asked about the leak test while in the hospital but was told that they don't do them unless there are symptoms or unless the patient really doesn't feel right. Like you, I am very nervous and trying to be aware of any changes. Good luck with your recovery and let's hope that leaks won't be a problem for either of us.

My surgery is scheduled for 2/9. I've been excited so far but I think the nerves are starting to make their presence known... however, I still feel ready to start this new chapter in my life.

Hi everyone!! I've been lurking around here for months while I've been going to all my appointments and getting everything ready for the big day. Finally, I've been told that I have the insurance approval and they've scheduled my surgery for Feb. 9th. I'm excited, hopeful and very nervous. My doctor doesn't require a liquid diet (except for the day before the surgery) but as I've been reading, a lot of doctors do require it... so I figured I start a liquid diet as well, just to make things easier for him during the surgery. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the great posts. I have learned so much from all of you these last few months.
