bleeding

I'm one week post op and the surgical glue is wearing off. Question is...after every shower one of my incisions begins to bleed a little. Nothing major just wondering if this is normal. This was my first surgery ever so I know nothing!

All I can tell you is I was glued also and I never bled, Might want to talk to the nurse at your docs office.

I would call your surgeon's office & just ask. I don't think it should after a week, but you never know. Better safe than sorry.

I never had that. Good luck

I agree with the others, call your doc's office and ask, just to be safe.

It is important,my doc postponed my first fill because I hadn't healed completely. I had glue also. I was banded 12/17 and she has me wear

butterfly bandage everyday.

But it's my fault, too much exercise to early.

Hope you call the office tomorrow. Good luck.

I agree with all of the above... especially Banjo!

I had very slight bleeding and it looked like it wanted to come apart but I'm in the medical field and I just purchased some steri strips by bandaid and put a new one on for another 10 days! Never even told the doctor. When I went in to see him at 4 weeks. He looked at them and they were fine. You can put noes potion around the opening but not on the open area!

i would gander you are okay...but this is/was major surgery. just call your dr/nurse and run it by them and get their opinion. congrats on your new life with the band.

You could have a hematoma, I had one 2 weeks post-op, definitely call your doctors office and let them know you've had some bleeding. Mine lasted about a week and it happened every time after I showered. I had a couple days where it bled a lot, the hot Water would liquify the hematoma even more so it would trigger the bleeding. It stopped on its own and I healed just fine.
