  • If you have already spoken with your MD, I would keep it clean for tonight and cover it with sterile dressing. It is common after surgery to leak serous drainage--this can be clear to slightly yellow

My surgery was feb 8th and the hospital told me to put goss pads on it and call my clinic in the morning! They didn't seem to worried but I want to know what it is!

Dont stress too much mine came off really quickly aswell... Get it looked at and self manage. Mine got a little infected so I was super anal with cleaning and just looked after it. I changed my strips once every 5 days if they hadnt fallen off until it had fully healed. I also kept it covered until it was healing properly. Just look after it and see your doctor... You'll be fine...

I am trying not to freak! I guess my biggest fear is that my port and my hose has came apart and the liquid coming out is what little fluid I had in my band!

If you have already spoken with your MD, I would keep it clean for tonight and cover it with sterile dressing. It is common after surgery to leak serous drainage--this can be clear to slightly yellow with pink tinge. As long as the incision is not gaping wide open, the drainage does not have a foul smell, you are not running a fever, the area around incision is not hot and red--I would relax and see MD tomorrow.

Yeah they all gave you really good advice. Dont freak out you will be ok :)
