Leak after Mexico

I know this sounds like I am just worrying too much, but I want to be prepared in case this happens. I am getting sleeved this Friday in Mexico. What would happen if I got a leak after returning home? Would they know how to treat it at our small hospital? I just want to make sure I consider everything! So anyone with this experience or thoughts would be great!

    I don't think you have to worry. I'll be there getting mine next Monday. He folds the edges over and triple staples. They won't let you leave until you've passed a leak test. Leaks are almost nonexistent in their practice.

    When do you go?
