Hello!

I just had my surgery yesterday, and I probably have a leak. I am so scared and I and freaking a bit out. Some prayers and positive thoughts would be very appreciated!

So, why do you think you have a leak?

Praying everything is ok for you. I had a leak that was discovered 3 weeks after my surgery, and even though it was tough, I made it thru and am ok today.

stay positive!!

Thanks for the positive thoughts! I had a CT scan that showed no leak, but because there was so much scar tissue and changes in my anatomy due to the old band, things were wonky. I'm happy to say all is well now, and the Clear Liquids are staying where they should. I have an amazing doctor!

What a scare. I'm glad that you have confidence in your doctor. That makes a lot of difference. No one wants to go around with things all wonky with a doctor that's all wonky, too.

I'm glad things are all good, But I'm still curious why you thought you had a leak to begin with.

Hello!

They thought I might have had a leak based on my swallow test. I'm a nurse and I work where I had surgery, so I got more info after my test than the average patient would have. When I looked at the xray pics, there was a spot that looked like it might be draining into the wrong area (i.e. not my bypass site at the y junction). The CT scan came back ok, and thank God I'm 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.
