Guelph VSG'ers...

Did you have a leak test post op while still in hospital care? Or did you just have one that they do while you are still under?

 Hey you,

I had the leak test while still in the hospital.  I actually had it on the day they were releasing me.

Hi Ruby! Glad to see you are up & about & posting :) I'm not from Guelph, but I did have a VSG.  I had a  "swallow" test (you swallow the horrible tasting liquid, it lights up your digestive tract, they can check for leaks) on the Sunday following my Friday surgery because of the intense nausea I was experiencing - it was negative then.  Then about two weeks later, I had a second one because the nausea was continuing - negative then.  I guess nausea is a sign of a leak.  My nausea has resolved itself now unless I'm trying something for the first time.

hmmm I'm a bit concerned cuz even though my surgeon told me I would have one before I left,,,, I never did. He did tell my hubby in the waiting area though that I had a leak test while still under and passed it.

 
My nausea was so bad as well that is maybe why I had the swallow test.  I was heaving and I couldnt even put the cpac machine on at night (was happy about that). So maybe not all patients have the test.  
I had both during surgery and after I had the swallow test.

PS.  I did have a heart issue as well that could have been a concern with a leak?
If you are doing well right now, try not to worry.

I go back in a couple weeks so I will inquire about it then. Thanks

  If I did have one it was while I was under, anywaysI have no knowledge of it. /shrug
