Has anyone developed a leak at least one week post-op?

I had surgury on 6-3-02. Doctor said it was the most difficult one has done to date. Was in the hospital 7 days. The day after I got home I was walking and felt a tearing sensation in my right side. It hurt a lot. Something tore and I started leaking alot into my drains. I have not been able to have anything by mouth since, except ice chips, but I still have a lot of drainage. Doctors can't explain were all the fluid is coming from. Also, how long did you take to heal?
