What makes them suspect leak?

When they did the barium swallow they thought they something trickling out. But when they went back in to take.a look it is.just small pooling area from lap band causing out pouching. They have a drain in me now just to be sure.

Hey my fellow 5/16 sleevers just wondering how everybody is doing post op.....I haven't had any complications but I'm finding it near impossible to get in all my Proteins & I'm no where near where I need to be with water....my doctor has me restricted to 1oz every 15 minutes so it takes me forever to finish anything and I have zero want for anything....would love to hear how things have been going for you and any advise you may have would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Doing great over here!! Had the same issues with getting fluids in but it is way better now. Try doing Popsicles. That makes it easier for me and broth I also tolerate very well. Good luck glad to see everyone is ok!!

      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.
