Bulge under incision-dr drained "blood clot" but back! (Have to hold/pain)



Recommended Posts

Hi, Virgin poster here:

12th day post-since day 1 upper left incision area (a lil to the right of it) always super painful, esp getting up/down&leaning back or touching it & area belly raised from bloodclot per dr.

4 days after went to dr and was told blood clot and opened incision and burst it (lots o blood) and given antibiotics. 1st time I felt a lil relief but not much. (Kept bleeding had dressing changed 2 days in row). Clot came back was told 2 days ago at follow-up. no tests needed, was told will drain naturally. Still wearing stomach binder.< /p>

Anyone else have this issue? Tyvm!

Addy info if needed: I Did have violent dry heaving in hospital, while trying to sit up about 6 times (could that do damage?), had fever 1 day in hosp (given prednisone and antibiotic drip etc.) and to this day feels like back hurts and very full after each sip...still on liquids-mostly scoop unfl protien in my Water til i get enough fluids.

Was this after a Sleeve or Gastric bypass?

Wow sorry to hear this. I am just recovering from a total Hysterectomy. Had 2 incisions that fester ed and drained. One is pretty much closed up. The navel area incision is being stubborn. Was on 2 different antibiotics. I am consudering Duodenum Switch. They won't do it til my incision is no longer draining. Take care

Hi, ty for responding. I had the Sleeve. You have been through alot too, so maybe draining is normal. Good luck to you!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
