My one incision where my drain was hurt sooo bad and this morning i was like what am i supposed to do it hurt so bad, well i was looking at it and you may be grossed out but i took the scab off to see if it was infected well once i did that i saw that it seemed like there was white underneath the part that seemed to be healed so i opened it up and it was filled with pus. i squeezed pus out for a good min till it finally because bloody. it hurts so bad and i keep cleaning pus out today. i dont understand how it got infected i have been cleaning it and taking care of all my incisions. i donno what to do, i got some more antibiotics and started taking those again but im really worried. should i got to doctor tomorrow. cause i dont know how deep the infection goes. has anyone had this happen?

The doc did an ultrasound said no abcess and gave.me antibiotics said.fallow up w.my.doc.n.a.few days

At the er, finally got a hold of a friend to come take care of kids

My parents are out of town their dad isnt in their life. I have no one

the antibiotic is an extra one i got from my doc after my surgery i just mixed it today and i want to go to er but i have both my kids and no sitter so i have no one to watch my kids so i have to wait till tomorrow to go... im stressing now

I didnt even smoke a full cig it was just a question

Oh and btw.... I follow my post op diet to the T

My doctor didnt say s**t to.me saw me maybe 5 min after my surgery.. And yes he knew i was a smoker. And yes u actually came across rude n my opinion... But whatever. I was just asking a question. I got my answer thanks

I was told it can blow a hole n my tummy from the.nicotine

Hey everyone! I was sleeved on the 14th in tijuana mexico, and i got home last night... Im still in alot of pain, they left my drain in so when i went to san diego airport i got molested lol. They sure dont know how to be gentle. But anyways im really scared now i didnt get much info on post op diet or anything. It hurts to breath deep. Im extremly uncomfortable. I donno what to do... Help?

Still in a bit of pain. I still have my.drain in which sucks, im hoping and praying i get my drain out tomorrow. hoping they do blood tests.too not feelin.to hot

How much Water are we supposed to be drinking a day, and what Vitamins or when r we supposed to take.vitamins? Im days 5 after surgery. N my potassium is super low! Can i have poweraid? I need to know how much juice water chicken broth whatever i need... Also can someone describe to me how they know they r full

I ended up in er tonight, my drain started coming out, the pain is insane. Docs r leaving it in, said im still draining to much. Did blood work, said my potassium is down, so now i have to take potassium suppliments. Has anyone else been sent home w drain, im sick to my stomache all the time, in mass pain, the er doc said my drain is stitched into me, but dr huacuz said just pull it out, ic i just pull it out itll rip my skin. Not excited for that! Anyone have similuar experiance

Yeh that line was pretty epic wasnt it! Glad u made it home safe, the plane ride was killer w all the turbulance. But yeh im goin to get ahold of a doc tomorrow, my drain was super full this morning, i slept on my tummy last night tho. But i was sittin at breakfest drinkin tea watchin my fam eat my fav breakfest food... Taco omelets lol n hashbrowns n sasage n looked at my drain and its leaking out side the tube into my bandage

Whats the deep breathing exercise

I was told NO PILLS what so ever, also i dont have sleep apnia, or w/e lol i donno what was goin on i kept tellin my bf no i dont want to breath it hurts to much, once i was fully awake i had prob 10 blankets and my bf nxt to me cauae i was so cold.

Dr huacuz did my surgery, i didnt have very good post op treatment, my boyfriend said after.surgery they just put me n as room and left, i quit breathing multiple times and nurses nvr came in my boyfriend kept yellin at me to breath. Then we had to remind them about meds n saline and all that good stuff. It was a bad experiance, but i got what i paid for. Also my mom is worried because they have let me take a shower every day shes afraid ill get infection. Dr said i can have chicken broth juice tea Water right now anything thats clear. And im always hungry i nvr feel full even after i drink juice... Do i need to measure 2oz or what should i do?
