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.

That is clearly infected. Please see your doctor immediately.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
