open incision

[tinybelle 0]

I was banded 4/12/07 & as I undressed to go to bed I noticed that one of my incisions is not glued together anymore. NOthing is coming out of it. It's just open, I can see the stitches some. What to you think I should do?:help:

Hi tinybell;

put a bandaid over it, make sure the wound does not have any gluepart on it as it could tear a bit more when you remove it again and then call your MD office tomorrow morning. They may have you come in for Steri Strips or just tell you to leave it open - it all depends on your MD. But for tonight- don't worry about it too much - like I said keep it dry and clean and you will be fine until you can ask the powers to be.

thanks,

I did just that this morning & MD wants to see me tomorrow just to make sure there's no infection.
