Post Op Day 11 Bleeding From Incision...help!

Today marks the 11th day post op. I had a lapband to sleeve revision on the 20th with complications. The day after my surgery I had emergency surgery due to a hermatoma. I was discharged from the hospital 5 days after surgery once stable.

I've been slow moving since getting out but feeling better every day. Today I noticed that the incision where the port was taken out was a little tender compared to usual. This evening I changed my dressing and noticed that I had several dots of blood from my port incision. I wasn't expecting any bleeding. It's been a couple hours and I can tell it hasn't dried, still bleeding a bit.

Is this normal? I assumed that with the conversion there is more swelling but I wasn't expecting any bleeding after a while. Should I be concerned? I'm feeling a little more pain there than usual too. I don't have my follow up for another 2 days.

Any advice? I'm kinda freaking out.

sleevediva....how are you doing now? Did the Doc give you an after hour #?

Best of luck.

Unfortunately they do not have any after hour phone number. This does kind of suck.

Other than that I am doing much better. I'm just a little over 5 weeks and have lost 24.5 pounds post op since the since and a total loss of 38 pounds. I'm getting better and better everyday although I still am struggling with energy.

I did have a follow up with the doctor last week. I did receive a B12 shot but I don't feel much different. I just need to work on getting back to the gym.

I'm thankful that I'm feeling better and not having pain. My incisions are completely sealed, thank goodness.
