Hiatal hernia belly button bandage

It's been 9 days since surgery and I took my belly button bandage off. Dried blood made it stick to the inside a bit. So it bled just a lil bit. I'm letting it air out then going to recover. I freaked out a bit and got really light headed. This has never happened to me before

Was it the blood that got to you, or is it something else? How much blood did you lose? If this is a concern for you, make sure to call your surgical team, that is what they are there for, and you did pay for them! Best of luck to you....

Idk. I cried when I first took it off cuz my husband said it was bleeding. Then he cleaned it out for me then I got light headed. I took a shower and now it looks better. Before I go to bed imma put a gauze over it and tape the edges so it will be protected and breathe at the same time.

Oh, I'm so sorry for you. Is this your first surgery, then? You have a little adjusting to do, to mentally come to grips with the loss of a body part, but it will pass. When you start seeing the loss of weight, you will see things in a different light, and the remorse will fly away! All the best to you....
