I am having a little bit of problems out of one of my incisions it has leaked a little since the day of surgery on May 30 but now it leaks even worse . It does not have an odor ! And it leaks clear liquid . Should I be worried?

I would definitely call your doctor and talk to them. They may even ask you to email a pic to them or probably come in to check it out. Mine never looked like that, but everyone is different. But, that doesn't look good. Call your doc maybe they can squeeze you in today!

Wash it off with peroxide, and add polysporin. It should dry up soon! You could have an internal stitch working its way out. If it does no get better, see your surgeon!

Be careful about putting anything on it my Dr. was very adamant about anything being put on the incisions. Call your doctor.

Agreed with the others... that seepage doesn't look right! Always call your doctor office. There should be someone on staff to take this sort of call.

Agree with others. See if you can send the photo to your doctors office. They may be able to advise you over the phone.

Let us know how it turns out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
