Hurting incision and ooze

[ssbills 13]

Got sleeved on 14th June.. Weight 70 kgs and started liquids from 15th and today the 19th I weigh 75.9... It's amaZing. Finally seems to be worth all the trouble. Hope I keep losing like this. Also, since it's only been five days my incisions don't hurt except one where they took the stomach out from.. Gross.

Yesterday that cut was oozing pink stuff out I got scared and called my doc and he said chill this is normal just put some gauz and paper tape on it. I told my mom and she freaked out and she said no let's go show it to him now which we did and he cleaned it up and put a new band aid on it and told me to change the band aid after showering every time. This morning I see pink stuff again.. Did anyone experience this?

Apparently this doesn't happen to everyone, but we are "special". I oozed from one of the incision for about 10 days. The PA at the surgeon's office said to just kept it clean and covered until it stopped. So I did and then it did! Good luck!

When stuff starts oozing out of your incisions, it's understandable to be concerned! It sounds pretty much like the typical type of drainage you'd expect to see after surgery though. Did you have a drain or no? I had a drain in for 24 hours after surgery and that's pretty much what the Fluid that came out looked like. After it was removed, the site seeped for a few days afterwards. They sent me home with tape and gauze and everything turned out fine. It even healed nicely. As long as the edges of your incisions stay together and the drainage isn't discolored (like green/yellow) or smelly, it's probably ok. Just follow your surgeon's advice!
