incisions leaking...

I'm 15 days out and 3 of my 4 incisions are dried and scabed over but one one is kinda soft with blood. Doctor saw yesterday and said looked great but today the glue has lifted and now its leaking thin watery blood. Doctor said its ok unless it becomes inflamed. Anyone experience anything like this?

Yes, I began leaking at about a week out and continued for approx. 2 more weeks. I was told it was normal but it still scared the bejeezus out of me when it first start. From what I understand, it is actually part of the healing process. Oh, and I am referring to the main incision where they pull the stomach out. I also did a lot of google searches to read about other people who went through this. Unless there's some sort of foul odor or, like you doctor said, if there is inflammation, it's completely normal.

If it starts to change color/smell make sure they have another look at it. If it stays the thin bloody stuff it should be fine! ;)
