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.

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.

Thank you!

I would call your doctor just to be sure everything is ok. I called my doctor right after and they didn't mind.

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.
