Hi all, I was revised band-to-sleeve on June 15. On this passed Tuesday, a couple of my incisions began to get infected from the inside, so now I'm on a heavy load of antibiotics. Anyhow, I have this one incision (not one of the infected ones) that just keeps oozing, oozing, and oozing! I'm so sorry to be gross! I have to clean it, put fresh gauze, and a huge bandage every few hours or it leaks through. The oozing is a kinda pinky-brown color, there doesn't seem to be any odor. Anyone else have this issue?? It's so gross!

Yup. I called my surgeon about mine and he said put some neosporin on it during the night and use hydrogen peroxide a few times during the day and keep it covered. I was kinda freaking out and he acted like he was talking to a crazy person, but his advice worked pretty quickly and I'm all good now!

Oh thank goodness! I was freaking out! It grosses me out sooo bad!

I had the exact same thing happen to me! I was sleeved May 15th.

I went to my PCP she was not concerned... she said it is not uncommon to develop fluid pockets in abdominal area after surgery. She put me on Bactrim DS for 10 days ( i think to just to pacify me).

The drainage from my incision never had an odor, I never ran a fever. My incision drained for about two weeks.
