It's my understanding they check to make sure you don't have a leak BEFORE they release you from the hospital. If you have a leak your Dr has to fix it then on so many month's later. Ensure is a good idea for you to start getting some nutrition but what about the post surgery diet of broth, SF Jello etc I am wondering if that will help also. At least your body will be getting something. Please keep us posted about your leak...

I don't have a surgery date yet but I feel the same way you do...so I guess nerves are to be expected. Best of luck on your surgery and keep us posted. I am anxious to hear how your hospital stay etc.
