It surprises me to hear of so many people who didn't have any post-op leak tests. I had two (and one in the OR).

I also had 2-one just after surgery and one the next morning.

Do we know who this Doc is and where his practice is.

I find it amusing that people post in this thread just to point out that ppl are still posting.

Kind of like waking someone up to tell them it's bedtime.

WTG, OTR!! Ya just woke up the baby!! :-)

I find it amusing how irritated people have gotten w this post. So what if people want to post? As long as they aren't bashing others (which many have! W a cast Iron skillet!)

Just unsubscribe if the thread annoys you. :-)

I do have to admit, that threads like this has made the search option harder. Last year when we searched for a topic, we'd get solid info. Now there's a lot of gobbledegook to wade thru making it harder to search. And that's a shame.

Yeah, OTR! I was glad this thing might finally be dead, but hey, now that it's not...

The big issue I have with this thread is that it's a panic button for uniformed people that don't bother to read the posts (you know, the handful of sensible ones in here, wedged in between the name calling and arguing) and it has so many words that will come up in frequent searches.

It doesn't matter if I unsubscribe because I could care less about the nastiness in this thread and I'm not annoyed that it exists, just at way the thread evolved. What matters to me is that as a vet, every time this thread gets resuscitated (like I'm guilty of doing right now), we can expect to get slammed with questions about stretchy sleeves, rapid regains, etc. when there was no real need for people to get into a tizzy. Very few people have the patience to read through more than 21 pages of posts to find the relevant pieces of information.

I I almost forgot I haven't found 1 surgeon who doesn't order a barium swallow upper gi X-ray to ENSURE you don't have a leak that is standard practice in EVERY US hospital

My surgeon doesn't order this and I went to a top tier center of excellence.

I didn't know that there was a higher level of "Bariatric Center of Excellence."

I wonder what other standards have to be met to be "top tier."

I work at a bariatric center of excellence hospital and none of our doctors order this test. Instead you go home with a drain for six days.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
