Question:
Has anyone ever had a leak after a year post-op?

I need some help. I've been a member and lurked alot but now am faced with something that I never expected. I will be a year out Jan 23. I had major complication with my surgery including a leak. I spent several months in the hospital with other complications from this. As of June I was completely healed and on my way to being me again. The beginning of December I had intense stomach pain..and thought it was the stomach flu. The doctor thought it was an ucler and gave me meds. The meds did not work. He scoped me and found nothing. Then refered me to a GI doctor. He ran a CT scan and found a bubble with the orginal leak had been. He scoped me himself and found the leak. I am almost a year out and a wreck. Has this ever happened to anyone else. I need some advice. Please Help!    — Sally S. (posted on January 9, 2004)

i did read on the memorial page of a lady that was 18 months out and pregnant and had a leak. But your doc is on top of it sounds like so you will be okay.
