Gastric leak rate is approximately 2-3% after gastric sleeve surgery. Generally the leak occurs in the first three days after the surgery. After the leak test or check is done, you can start to take food and water under our health team supervision. If you have already been discharged from the hospital, it means there is no high risk of gastric leakage. However, the leak still may occur. If the late-term gastric leakage occurs, an intense and unreasonable abdominal pain with fever may happen. This condition rarely happens, so don’t panic. Please do not forget that you can always reach us if you have questions and needed.
