Question For Any One ?

[lrainb 32]

Just wondering if this surgery requires an ng (naso gastric tube) If so, when was it placed and when did it come out??

[tonia 12]

Nope. No ng tube.

We're you tested for leak before discharge? If so, how is that done?

Yes I was. I had to drink this nasty blue stuff and they look at a x-ray and watch it go threw your stomach. That's all I really remember, I had mine done the day of surgery and was messed up from the pain mess lol

no ng tube here either, and did leak test next morning drinking barium and having an x-ray

Some people have them. My doctor typically uses them for people who have revisions from lap band to the sleeve and they stay in place for two days. I apparently came out of surgery with one but ripped it out while in recovery. I have no memory of that, of course. They didn't bother to reinstall it.

Thank You... Looks like I have a 50/50 chance ... Ugh!

Have you asked your doctor? They probably have a standard practice regarding when/if they use them.

no tube here, either. Thought that might change odds if you are keeping track. lol
