When is it safe to say your leak free??
It sounds like you're dehydrated. Dehydration will cause a terrible headache and nausea, along with other things. But it's good that you went to your surgeon just in case. I always say it's better to be safe and find out nothing is wrong than to sit there wondering then something really be wrong. My doctor did a leak test right after he finished the surgery while I was still under anesthesia. And he also told me that after 30 days post op, if there have been no complication, then you're less likely to have any complications. I hope you begin feeling better. Try hard to get those fluids in! It's hard at first but it will come easier. Prayer for you that no leaks or any major complications found!!

Worrying will NOT do anything for you. But ruling ANYTHING out will.
Leaks can be found up to several months after surgery. Mainly because sometimes it doesn't just leak but can somehow become protected in a pouch like. I'm NOT technical but I remember a lady whose leak was found 3 months. She didn't become septic because it was leaking into a pouch of skin or lining or something.
I was told that 95% of leaks happen the first 3 weeks but it was possible for months
just sounds like he is being safe and checking everything , they may just be looking at the size and shape of your sleeve there all a little different , mine looks like a string bean so I call her Beany
being dehydrate will upset your stomach and give you a headache, dizziness, trey to drink some broth it might help both problems
