Thanks for your reply

Yes u r right it is still discharging some yellowish thingies

And still red

Yeah might have an issue...Did u try anti-biotic cream?

Nop the doc hasn't give me anything but the vitamins after discharge from hospital

U can buy some at the store. If u think its really bad u might have to call Dr

I was sleeved the 10th and mine look like several day old cat scratches now. I still have glue covering most of them, but the last of it is slowly flaking off.

If yours are weeping at this point, I would definitely call your doctor to be sure there isn't an infection or anything.

If there is inflammation, redness, yellow (pus)!oozing from the incision you should contact your physician. You should have been using the antibiotic ointment when you were discharged to prevent infection at the incision site. You don't want to risk having an infection, considering your recent surgery and the size of antibiotic pills. Call your doctor first thing tomorrow to be safe. Good luck!!

Thank u all for ur replies

I will call my doc in the morning and update u soon

U r all awesome

I was sleeved on the 7th and mine are not even scabbed anymore. I just have scars and there is no pain at all. Yellow discharge is cause for a call to the doctor.

I was sleeved 12/4 and 2 of them are healed and glue is gone the other ones the glue is breaking up and starting to fall off. My doc told me if they get redness or start discharging puss like liquid that they are infected to call him.

I was sleeved on Dec 12th and mine are still a little red and have little scabs but they are healing really really well... I am actually shocked at how healed they already are!

Thank u all for sharing

My doc said that i am moving alot and gave me an antibiotic ointment and asked me to rest completely for at least 5 days :o

I'm glad you were able to speak with your doctor. Good luck with everything!
