I would call my doctor right away. I had my surgery on December 1st and
have had no problems with leaking. Good luck to you!

I did not have any leaks with my RNY but I know that this can happen with
surgery. I had a c-section last year and about a week later my incision
started leaking alot. Like a light pink clear fluid. I was very scared
but it ended up being normal. Fluid builds up under the incision and that
is its only way out. I would still call your doctor to be sure but I think
it is fine.

I would call asap. Better to know that everything is okay and put your
mind at ease.
