Sleeve Gastrectomy (leakage)

hi there

I would ask about leaking after sleeve surgery.

Is there a possibility of leakage in the long term? (1 year or 2 year)

or

the stomach will be stable within 2 or 3 months?

thanks,

afaik, a sleeve can leak 2 weeks post-op just by itself.

after that it starts to heal and produce scar tissue around the staple line and seals the 2 parts together. at that stage over stretching the sleeve can cause a leak,

but after a month or two it is healed completely together and stable.
