So there shouldn't be any? It's not draining but I do see a little under the little strips

They told me to call if I had ANY leakage.

ok thanks

You should have some post-op paperwork that addresses suture leakage. I'd refer to that and follow what it says.

my paperwork said if any blood under steri strips to just put a bandaid over it,,,, geeze now im worried,, i dont get banded til wed :blink:

change the bandage and check it in the am...

May depend on how much moving around you've done.

Don't be afraid to call, I'm sure they are use to it.

Good luck
