Did you have a STARR procedure or did you have traditional incisions like most of us?

You probably need antibiotics. Feel better.

I developed an absess that turned into a staph infection. It was on the underside of my breast that was rubbing against the incision line. You will need to see your doctor and be treated with antibiotics. Mine is still not entirely healed and I've had it now for about 4 weeks. Request your medicine by liquid form, its much easier. Take care of yourself!

O im 8 weeks post op and i feel great. Except my belly button were they did surgery is leaking blood and Fluid and some green stuff. It is constantly wet. I could push on it and it would fill up. My surgeon is baffled i went in today for wound exploration surgery waited 7 hrs only to he sent home becuzz of no operating rooms. And surgeon saw a piece of dried greenstuff it looked like seaweed and said this worries him maybe leaky bowel or infection. But ive been on antibiotics for ten days and fluid does not stink anymore. Oh and the ct scan showed no major abcesses any suggestions

This is what ive been dealing with for the last 2 weeks just finished up antibiotics talked to surgeon today and is going to hold of on surgery due to the leaking has significantly slowe in the past 30 hrs plan b is anothet ct scan and opening it up

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
