I had a leak test, and the dye they made me drink led to 12 hours of vomiting. I kind of wish they didn't haha.

I was kinda wrong... they did do some sort of leak test during surgery (checking for bubbles with the stomach submerged, or something like that), but not the post-surgical nastydrink thing.

I didn't get the leak test after surgery either, here in England they do it while your still under the effects of anesthesia

My surgeon also does it while you are under, as far as checking the staple line AND he also overstitches it as well. Nothing post surgery.

Humm gotta bring this one up to my surgeon too, I didn't have a leak test unless it was done while I was knocked out.

I will be sleeved on Monday. Dr told me he only does post op leak test if he thinks it is necessary. They also seem to be very very cautious with post op diet. Clear Liquids for 1-2 weeks then 2 weeks of full liquids. I was a little worried about not having one but after we spoke in length about the precaution taking during surgery I feel like he is right and not everyone needs to have a leak test after surgery.
