How long after being sleeved do leaks show up? Is there a common pattern like usually within the first 1-2months? Is there a safe period once we are past 5-6 month does that mean it's unlikely we will ever have a leak??

What are the signs of a leak?

I don't know what the time period is but my bariatric surgeon said the signs of a leak where the typical "flu" signs, such as fever, malaise, aches, fatigue, sweats, that sort of thing. Normally this is stuff I'd blow off and wait for to pass, but post WLS I'd run right to the ER at the first sign of that.

I think the biggest risk is in the first 2-3 weeks. After that, it diminishes significantly. I've heard of people discovering them some time later, but after the first 6 weeks, it's pretty unlikely.

I have heard of people getting getting leaks at 5 months out. Which is kinda scary
