Incision bleeding a little..



Recommended Posts

So maybe I am a worry wart, but when I was sleeping last night, I unconsiously tried to turn to my side to sleep (I am only two days post-op) and I felt something strange, so It woke me up and I quickly turned back to laying on my back. Tonight, I noticed that there was a little bit of blood outside of the steri strip and when I touched it, there was a little bit of blood on my finger. This is at the largest incision on my belly. I am wondering if I could have popped a stitch or if that is just normal from moving around that it may weep a little bit. Any thoughts about this?

I don't think it's a big deal, but call your dr. You will feel better.

I just googling the same thing . I had my lapband surgery on the 25th of April and today I noticed some blood on my shirt from from one of the incentions . I was a little worried thinking I might be doing to much but I think its from catching on to clothing but then that worries me if it can get infected !!! Ahhhhh I hope its ok !!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
