Question:
What all (food, or surgeon or ......)causes leaks?

I have read alot about leaks but what exactly can cause them?    — angela D. (posted on May 27, 2002)

Are you talking leak, as in life threatneing post op leak that sends you back into surgery? Or staple line disruption? Neither is "caused", BTW. The body will do everything it can to return to normal. My husband had a leak, so got 2 surgeries in a week. I had a SLD, so got a 2nd surgery at 5+ yrs. WE didn't do anything wrong, neither did our docs. We just had an older model surgery. Now I have an updated model, he still has his original, intact.
