mverges 15 Posted July 23, 2012 So I'm 8 days out today. So far, the drainage from my drain has decreased since I was sleeved. But yesterday, the amount has increased and today in one draining, it was as much as much first day postoperative. I don't have a fever and I'm not vomiting. But does this mean I have a leak? I'm so stressed. Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookeyism 1,143 Posted July 23, 2012 If you are not in pain there is little chance to worry, from what I have been told and read...if you are really concerned, color your foods with blue dye, and see if you start to get blue fluids. Just a suggestion passed on from someone who actually saw it work (I forget her name - sorry). I did it myself, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mverges 15 Posted July 23, 2012 I did call them, and they said it's ok bc I was moving around more. But I've already drained 73cc today, which makes me nervous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
