I noticed this when Bandages were removed at home. I called dr office and sent picture. I was advised to pop so Fluid can drained, clean with antibacterial soap and pat dry. Anyone else get this?

My big incision got a slight infected and oozed clear/yellowish Fluid for days. Then it healed over but the fluid built up and since my scar was thick and the surgeon had to cut it open and then pack it. I had to pack it until it stopped having fluid.

pretty normal when your body is processing an injury and the dead cells get trapped under a layer of skin.

Makes sense. I drained the Fluid but don't like how it looks now.

It's going to look nasty/beat for a bit... it'll get better.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
