Surgical scar leakage 8 weeks out & inability to eat anything until after 1pm daily.

[niteal 0]

Hello,

I had my proceedure 8 weeks ago this Wednesday, I was recovering very nicely with no problems or infections and I was cleared to do anything I wanted to physically but 1 day after Christmas my largest scar starting leaking something. I don't have fever but it's getting worse (leaking more) not better and I'm scheduled to see my doctor tomorrow. Until then I was able to walk the 10k steps daily and ride my stationary bike for 45 minutes x 5 with no porblems whatsoever. Has anybody else experienced this?

I have been following all the lapband recovery protocols (food types and consistancies & exercise to the letter. I have lost 56 pounds since November 14th but I actually cannot eat anything at all until after noon daily without the left shoulder pain nerve going off the scale. By anything I mean nothing at all. No Water or anything. I only try to eat something twice a day. At this point I really don't care if I lose another oz. I was able to actually drink/swallow more 10 days after the surgery than now. I don't like this at all.

Best regards,

niteal

You may want to repost this in the general lapband forum... You will have better response there!

As far as the leakage, I stopped leaking at about 3 weeks. I would defineatly bring it up to your doc.

Try to drink a hot liquid in the morning to reduce swelling in the morning... it might help.
