Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted March 17, 2012 Can you tell me a little more? I don't understand what you mean. There is no escaping from a sleeved stomach. It's permanent. Do you mean a leak? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5DoxieMom 87 Posted March 17, 2012 You should contact your surgeon. I don't believe that a leak could be detected with ultrasound. When leak tests are done post surgery, it is done with a barium swallow. Did you have a leak test after surgery? Where are you at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lilee84 648 Posted March 17, 2012 I have wondered that for days now Haha! I've been meaning to post that every time I see his/her name pop up. Nothing's adding up. They had surgery 6 weeks ago and are already in a size small? The profile pic is of an obviously NOT overweight person. No profile info... Nothing but grammatically incorrect questions that appear to be designed to gain sympathy - most of them anyway. And obviously very uneducated about VSG in general. 1 ShouldBlittler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheetsin 714 Posted March 19, 2012 Ways to check for leaks vary by surgeon's preference. Suring the surgery, my surgeon submerges the staple line and looks for escaping gas bubbles. Post-op (once you'r sutured/stampled closed) there are a few options. Barium swallow is one of them, but not preferrable. Drinking barium kind of assumes the barium is staying inside. Let's just say that if I were to have a leak, barium is not a substance I'd want leaking out into my body cavity. I actually have my final consultation today, and I'm going to ask my surgeon to specify what post-op leak detection methods he uses, and make sure he will offer an alternative to barium. Undiscovered leaks are usually "found" through patient complaints - fever, abdominal pain, tachycardia (fast heart rate), dizziness, distention, general malaise (feeling like you have a bad flu), etc. I was speaking with someone last week who had actually had a leak and was feeling the effects of the infection, but thought she was just dumping because some of the written symptoms are similar. I don't think you're a troll or looking for sympathy. I've seen your post and to me it's pretty clear that you're struggling through language (and perhapd cultural) barriers. If you need any of the information above explained in a different way, please let me know. (My husband/in-laws are not native English speakers. Though my husband is fully fluent, the in-laws are not, so I'm used to kneading my English to fit what they can better understand). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sallynew 18 Posted March 19, 2012 thanks alot wheetsin im trying to improve my language if you ask your doctor about symptoms of post opertive leakage other than barrium swallow please answer me here barrium swallow is very expensive so it cant be as screening method Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
