Hi Bellarina,
This is not normal. 2 things spring to mind. Obstruction in the bladder or the tape is too tight. Please go and get a second opinion. You should not be still leaking.
My worry is that if you get a bladder infection or UTI you could be a long time sorting this out. The antibiotics will only fend off the infection for a while, you need to get to the root cause of things now before it escalates.
