10 Days Post Op And Leaking Incision



Recommended Posts

Well I didnt think I did "too much" today but now I have clear liquid coming out of the biggest one of my incisions with a smidge of blood it has subsided but had me worried its a little tender there still. There is no puss oooze or foul smell so I dunno if its a big deal left doctors office a msg talked to a nurse who said monitor it till tomorrow but it has me worried.

I would not be too worried. you did the right thing by calling your provider and got advice from the nurse.

Clear, non foul odor probably can wait until tomrrow. I would call again in the morning and just go in so you don't worry.

How long has it been since your surgery? Did you feel any pain or anything before it started oozing??

Same thing happened to my friend. Our doctor told her it is basically a tiny pocket behind the incision area. Hers drained for about a week, then totally cleared up. I had surgery the same day, however did not have that issue.

      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.
