All other patients that I've seen on this forum for the last 2-3yrs have had great successful journeys but going into any surgery there's gonna be the 1-20%-ers that's just a fact and just because not a lot of patients report their complications doesn't mean that the surgeons dont make mistakes.
Saphire, this thread is over 3 years old, and from her profile it looks like KaychieB hasn't been back to this forum since 2016. So you may not get an answer to your question. The leak test I wouldn't think is 100%, as nothing in medicine / diagnostic tests is absolutely fail proof, and I would also expect leaks can develop after the fact in the post op period. I don't know about the specifics of her situation, and if she comes back on to answer that's the best - not trying to overstep.
