I was banded Nov. 12, 2012. My recovery has been great and 33lbs lost. I have 5 incisions from surgery. Three are completely healed and barely noticeable. The 2 smallest have decided to get red and looked like they have pus in them. Turned out to be thread from stitches , I guess, Doesn't hurt, but seems strange.. Due to go back for my first fill, Jan 3. Guess, if no pain or infection I will hold tight till then. Anyone had this happen? Thanks!

How does the dr say to treat them? Mine suggested a daily swab of hydrogen peroxide.

My dr is out of town this week. I just discovered this last night about incisions. I have swome nurse friends that I am waiting to hear back from. I will try your suggestion, thank you! I am a worry wart!

I had 3 out of 5 have a suture push through. Dr told me just wash with soap & water and dry real well. They did stay more red than the rest. If you think there's puss coming out you should give them a call. Most surgeons have someone on call & they can advice.

Good luck!

Thank you!

my doctor said if its a stick just go ahead and pull it out and clean it up.

I would check with the surgeon.
