Post Op bloody sinus drainage

[CharlyinCO 0]

I was banded Nov 5 and I am now 1 week post op, however, since the day of surgery I have had a constant runny nose with blood. I am blowing my nose all day long. I have no other cold symptoms or anything, just constant bloody mucus in my nose. Is this natural of the post op period?

I was banded Nov. 10th and yesterday I experienced the same thing. I think it's from the surgery. I think when they use the face mask and breathing tube it dries everything up. I've also had some runny nose since then and I don't have any cold symptoms either.

Same for me banded Nov 9th. Bloody n dry! I steamed some Water n took a damp cloth to breath in and the moisture helped.

Oxygen is very drying to mucus membrains. most likely its from the surgery. steaming will help like the previous poster said. Also you can try using a humidifier if you have one. Im from CO too and will all the cold dry weather weve just had it would probly help alot!
