Significant abd. pain,fever(the big sign),hypotension .Get out of that bed,and start walking as soon as you can. It will let you know sooner than later if you have a problem. With walking ,the abd. pain should decrease, but with a leak,you'd actually feel worse.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2000 Report Share Posted December 3, 2000 Yep, been there and done that! When I told the nurse how bad I was hurting, she said to get out of the bed and walk. Well, I could hardly move, much less get out of bed. The pain was very significant. Yes, it was a leak and less than 18 hours after surgery while i was still in the hospital. Alls OK now though, 4 weeks later.
