I was told to change my bandages after two days. I had disolving stitches. Had a tiny bit of discharge on original dressing but not after.

It is completely normal, just watch for excessive drainage, temperatures, redness, etc.

i had a smidge on my port incision which was the largest. doctor said it was fine and not to worry. i say if you are concerned, do what i did and call and let your dr know and have them ease your mind.

I did too. It wasn't huge but enough to come theology the surgical tape and onto the shirt I was wearing. Mine eased up after a couple if days. Just keep an eye out for infection otherwise I think it's totally normal...or at least my doc told me it was! :-)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
