No leak test????
my daughter had surgery yesterday at Tufts medical, dr. shirkora (sp?) and the surgery (RNY) only took 1 hour... which is great, she seems to be doing well... but I am wondering why no leak test was done??? anyone every hear of this. It sort of worries me. I want to be sure everything is ok before she is released...today she is having a medicine cup full of water, every hour, thats it.. and then they will discharge her tomorrow????? sigh...I am worried to say the least.
anyway, I hope someone can help answer my question.
thank you

I had my surgery done by Dr Shikora 7 months ago,.... I am sooo blessed to have had that man in my life.... He changed my life forever!!!!! 75.lbs lost forever!!!
It is the best decision I ever made!!!
I too only had that little cup of water.. trust me she probablly does'nt want it either.... best advise GET UP AND WALK WALK WALK!!! She will do GREAT!!!!
I did stay 1 extra day because I was sick on the Pain meds.. which I really didn't need
I had no leak test done and turned out just fine!!!
Just have her go slow keep walking and get plenty of rest when she gets home!!!!
Any questions concerns please PM me anytime

I had my surgery at UMASS in July 2009 and I don't believe I had a leak test either. Again, I'm so happy I had my RNY. I would walk on a hot bed of coals for my surgeon, he has changed my life for the better!

I spoke with her again a few mins. ago and she had just seen the surgeon, btw, she too adores him, thinks he is the best thing since sliced bread...LOL LOL... so I guess it will be ok... at least that is what I am telling myself....this is all so new for me.
