Rough night, and a lot of pain this morning. Had my blood work done this morning and all came back normal. Heading to my up GI for the leak test. If I pass that, then I can have H20

Wow honey way to go! Hope things are better today. I bet Water sounds so good right now! Fingers crossed all goes well with the leak test.

Passed the leak test. Just tried my 1st sip of H20 and it stung all the way down.

Well I think its because you can't drink anything, including Water for a whole day. So by the time do drink it may sting because its letting the moisture back in. I can feel the water move into my tummy and exit the tummy and that hursts some even with pain killers. The doc and nurses all say its normal and j will improve day by day. I think so pain is worth it.

I also had my sleeve done yesterday, and when I woke, I too thought I was hungry. I ordered broth and tea once I got to the floor, and in reality, I don't think I was hungry. I think I mistook my swollen, irritated stomach as a hunger sensation. Over a couple of hours, I did eat the broth and drank the tea without issue. Then today, I've had some puréed/strained Soup in addition to broth, but I still don't think I've experienced true hunger. Nurse told me to start omeprazole when I got home, so maybe the "hunger" feeling is really just the overproduction of acid we've all heard about on these boards?

Hang in there, Luminous!

Actually, they pass the bougie through your esophagus. And some docs do a "flat tire" leak test during surgery where they inflate your stomach with air (through your esophagus) to look for bubbles. And some docs will also do an endoscope during surgery to visualize the inside of your staple line.

Entering night # 2 on the hospital. I've managed to keep my Fluid quota of 30 ml hour with no problems. Pain meds aren't working at all. All of my pain is located in the bottom right quadrant of my abdomin. They did a bladder ultrasound and determined it to be full and causing some pain. They believe kidney stone is the culprit. I will check back in tomorrow morning. Feel free to fire off any questions. Night Night
