Pete,
Are you doing things you shouldn't be doing. Lifting , bending , straining... I think a little leakage is normal. Although I would talk to your Doc just to be safe...
My Doc took my staples out 5 days after surgery and sent me home. I never had any problems and it healed up fine. All I have now is a little line which is fading away daily. I had my surgury a month ago. I told my surgeon he missed his calling. He should have been a plastic surgeon. He got a chuckle out of that...
