Bndtoslv 292 Posted June 17, 2015 What does the leak test consist of It's an upper gi. You drink barium and they watch on an X-ray. You probably had them frequently if you had a band. My surgeon says they aren't doing them routinely anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TXBrittBritt 48 Posted June 19, 2015 I was outpatient and loved it! I'm in the medico field and there was no way I was staying overnight..... I was much more comfortable at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireWife 20 Posted July 11, 2015 Mine will be outpatient at the surgery center across the street from our hospital, but I will arrive at 9am, they will keep me for 23 hours, and I will leave at 8am the next day, so technically it is an overnight. I'm self-pay, so they said that makes it significantly less expensive for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julzzz 9 Posted July 13, 2015 I was outpatient - had surgery at 10:30 but for some reason, wasn't able to go to the bathroom. They sent me home with a catheter and I had to return the day for removal. All good now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
