Left incision opened help!

[samighair 10]

I am 2 weeks post op and the left incision where they remove the stomach just opened! I had staples removed last thurs! It's deep, purple and nasty looking! Has this happened to anyone?

Call the doctor first thing in the morning. Is there any discharge? Do you have fever? Its probably fine but its always best to have the doctor look at it. May just need a few butterfly bandages to keep it closed. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Definitely see your surgeon, ASAP, if it's deep, it needs closed, it's not healed.

If you haven't gone to the E/R yet, definitely call your surgeon first thing this morning. They will probably have you come in to their office to decide what needs to be done. Good luck!

Hey guys, thanks for all the advice! I just left surgeon and had stitches put in! According to the PA this is very normal as I have been exercising a little too aggressively, so I will tone it down! thanks again everyone, I appreciate it I'm doing very well!

This happened to me too. Actually, 3 of them opened! There were no signs of infection, so I let them heal on their own....it took two months and the scars are not pretty. Glad you got yours closed back up!

Wow! That's a long time! I'm glad your better! I'm doing well now! Ty!
