    Do you mean from an incision site? Or that you think you have a leak in your sleeve?
    I'm thinking you mean from an incision. If it's clear or light red it's pretty normal but I'd certainly call your doc tomorrow.
    If it's all red/angry around it and the leakage is any other color, or it's pretty painful around it, you might want to call their service today.
    otherwise, I'd cover it with a plain gauze pad and use some paper tape to hold it on and change it often til then.

    If your sleeve has a leak, it is extremely dangerous. I don't know what you mean by a poison? It is "fixed" by your surgeon. Have you had surgery? Are you having symptoms? Your post doesn't give any information.

    I think your asking if any members has had experience with a leakage with their sleeve, that their doctor had to go in and fix. Right?

    Yes you can develop sepsis which is like a poison in your system. But that is only if you let it go on too long.
