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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
