I had my surgery on 3/20/12, when I got home there was some drainage in the port site and the hospital instructed me to put a loose bandage over it and it would be fine. Well the drainage went away but the other day I noticed it again. I called the Dr and the said the same thing and if it's not red and swollen it should be okay. Did anyone else go through this?

I had my surgery 2/15/12 and about a week after I started to get drainage from the largest incision closest to the port site. It was a yellowish and bloody drainage. My doctor said there is a sac of fluid in that area and as it heals some may come out. He did however start me on antibiotics as a precaution for 10 days and had me keep the area covered with a dressing. It has since healed with no problems. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I've been worried I don't want it to get infected. It's good to know someone else went through this. I'm going to see my surgeon this week. I noticed since the drainage the swelling has gone down. I still have pain in the port area but the nurse said that's normal. Thanx again hope your doing well - God Bless -
