The Nastiest Stuff I Have Ever Put In My Mouth



Recommended Posts

I had a leak test the morning after surgery. It was nasty stuff! I understand the reasoning behind not having anything else to drink before then, but I also think it's a bit cruel for that gross stuff to be the first thing we drink after surgery!! I've heard of some people who ended up throwing up because of it. Luckily, I didn't do that, but it was still very gross. Worse than barium!

That stuff was the all time nastiest taste ever. You couldn't pay me to drink that stuff again

They did my 2nd leak test around 24hrs after surgery, also about 6 hrs after they were supposed to have. I had to drink so much of that crap while just balancing on this table that I stood on and then the lifted it up and laid it back, when that stuff hit my stomach, it was cramping so bad my chest was even hurting. Not the way I wanted to experience my first time eating or drinking something after surgery. I kept telling them I was going to throw up and they just kept telling me to drink more, I managed to keep it down by the grace of God!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
