How would one know, or what symptoms would you have....

Your surgery was april 7th. Most leaks occur immediately after surgery. By a month the risk drops dramatically. Symptoms include fever, hard painful belly, and feeling of dread. What symptoms if any do you have? Or are you asking about a staple line disruption if you werent transected?
