CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted June 5, 2014 Not sure I understand the question.... but I was told full and complete healing is somewhere in the range of 3-6 weeks. Leaks are often discovered after that time, but it is thought they were small leaks that just weren't detected early. A good question for your surgeon!
