One year leak test follow-up



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I had my one year leaak test to make sure Miss Tummy is working right. The barium swallow follow-through was supposed to take two hours, but that is when you can drink 12 ounces of the stuff like old times. Because I could only sip an ounce every ten minutes or so, it took almost all day. Oh well. for the first time I got to see the complete path my food goes through. My sleeve really is a tube, like a garden hose.

I am a visual learner, so this was helpful for me to see. Now I really understand why I fill up on so little food, and how stacking in the esophagus happens if you overeat. It was fascinating to see, and all was good - no leaks and no problems. Just drinking prune juice today.

Wow, interesting! I didn't have to have that, but it would be kind of fun to see.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
