txgirl82 18 Posted November 19, 2014 Just curious when are you supposed to have leak test? Is this before you leave hospital? At 2 week check up? Kinda confused on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SBovee 20 Posted November 19, 2014 You'll find every Dr is different. Some will do one before you leave the hospital, some a week out, mine did one 30 days out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garifab_VSG 122 Posted November 19, 2014 I've seen many go for a leak test first thing the day after surgery (24 hours). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EllieMae 10 Posted November 19, 2014 I do not remember having a leak test. I know it's a test for a leaky sleeve, but what exactly do they do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elode 8,093 Posted November 19, 2014 @@EllieMae They make you drink a Barium sulfate drink (disgusting ) While they X-ray your swallows to your stomach. The drink makes a leak show up if you have one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finediva 979 Posted November 19, 2014 Mine was done the day after surgery. Until my surgeon got the result I was not allowed to have anything by mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
babelfish5 78 Posted November 19, 2014 I had a leak test during surgery and 1 24 hours after. I agree about the barium. The test 24 hours after was rough. Swollen stomach and barium do not go well together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
