I am having a little bit of problems out of one of my incisions it has leaked a little since the day of surgery on May 30 but now it leaks even worse . It does not have an odor ! And it leaks clear liquid . Should I be worried?

I would definitely call your doctor and talk to them. They may even ask you to email a pic to them or probably come in to check it out. Mine never looked like that, but everyone is different. But, that doesn't look good. Call your doc maybe they can squeeze you in today!

Wash it off with peroxide, and add polysporin. It should dry up soon! You could have an internal stitch working its way out. If it does no get better, see your surgeon!

Be careful about putting anything on it my Dr. was very adamant about anything being put on the incisions. Call your doctor.

Agreed with the others... that seepage doesn't look right! Always call your doctor office. There should be someone on staff to take this sort of call.

That is clearly infected. Please see your doctor immediately.

Agree with others. See if you can send the photo to your doctors office. They may be able to advise you over the phone.

Let us know how it turns out.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
