thats perfectly normal. when they cut out the stomach your body reacts by trying to protect itself. the clearish Fluid is basically the stuff inside a blister. your belly is pretty full from that and the gas they swelled you up with so they could see what they are doing. at 17 days i was still leaking from the 2 largest incisions. when the stitches are removed,it is ​VERY freaky, but normal for quite a bit to come out of the incision. it gets way better. remember that your wounds are healing from the inside out. let them air out as much as possible.

I squeezed it and some liquids came flying out I just cleaned the incision I hope it's fine I see a small hole

Is that Fluid with bad odor? If yes probably it's infection at the wound u may need to do dressing more frequently and use antibiotics local if not then don't worry about it will take its time and stops but either ways it's better to see ur Doctor

Keep it clean, and loosely covered. I would still advise your medical team.
