Hi well one of the incisions which there are 5 is leaking a clear fluid and is slightly red. Dont think its infected but I am concerned. I know if its a color or smells like puss its infected. Thank God I dont see that. I think if it was infected I would have a fever or something obvious. Lets see what happens. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm a worry wart. So if I were you, I would call the dr tomorrow just to double check. I would hate for you to head into the weekend and it get worse.

Well I'm at the emergency room at the hospital getting my incision looked at. There was a substantial amount of puss coming from the incision and it is bleeding.

Oh wow. Keep us updated.

Well just got back from the emergency room at the hospital. They prescribed antibiotics and bacitration for the incision with gauze. They took a culture. So monday I have to call my surgeon and have him get the results of the culture. I guess monday ill take it from there.

Antibiotics are the way to go. It should clear up any infection if there is any. Bacitracin will keep it nice and clean. On any surgery I've ever had they wouldn't let me keep gauze on there past the first two days. They always told me they wanted it to dry out, but I've never had any incision not heal except for one in my belly button when I had my gall bladder removed. It just would not freaking heal and my surgeon told me to stop using neosporin and stop covering it. I did and it healed great. You can't even tell there's a scar there. But.... Yours is possible infection so follow your doctors orders to a T

well i hope the antibiotics work. Im keeping the incision covered with gauze and bacitration. got to keep the hope up. oh well.

The antibiotics should do the trick!! Keep us informed!

Well I emailed photos of the infection to my surgeon and he made an appt to come in Wednesday this week. They said if it gets worse go to the emergency room again this time at the hospital I had my surgery at. I guess I everything will be alright.

I bet the antibiotics help

Hi, well tomorrow I see the surgeon so he can look at the infection on the incision. The infection looks under control with the antibiotics. I change the gauze twice a day using bacitration. I also air it out when im home careful not to rub it against anything. I dont have a temp, my blood pressure is good so is my blood sugars. So I guess Im almost out of the woods.

That's great news! I hope everything goes well tomorrow!

Great to know!! Now you get to really start losing weight without any worries. I'm a lil jealous

Oh forgot to mention that my blood sugars are completely normal and I dont have high blood pressure anymore. So I dont take diabetic meds anymore either.
