Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted September 9, 2015 Did anyone experience a leak after surgery? What were the symptoms? I didn't, but I seem to recall a page in my surgery manual that had a list of symptoms where it was recommended to call the surgeon right away: fever and sharp pain may be two. If you think you are experiencing something unusual or out of the ordinary, why not call your surgeon? I know mine has a 24-hour number for questions just like this. Don't wait for answers from strangers on the Internet if you think something is wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ilovecats1985 100 Posted September 9, 2015 Oh I haven't had surgery yet. I scheduled for October 21st. I was just looking for stories from someone who experienced it. It's one of my Big worries about the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted September 9, 2015 Glad to hear. I know it's a big worry, but leaks are actually pretty rare. If you avoid NSAIDs and steroids, don't smoke, and follow your surgeon's instructions and food plan, the chances of experiencing a leak are very, very small.
