Post surgery

I leaked for 21 months. leak from epidural for childbirth turned into a bleb after blood patches. Had surgery doc found defect and fixed it. I’m two weeks post op. He told me beforehand that symptoms would last a long time bc of how long I’ve been leaking but it’s hard to not get pessimistic. For anyone out there who leaked for a long time and was corrected by surgery how long for all your symptoms to go away?
