Hey everyone thanks for taking time to read this, i just got operated for vsg single incision on jan 26, so im pretty much 2 weeks post op. Anyway my concern is i started having this clear/brown liquid coming out of my bellybotton (also thats where the incision is located) is this normal? I just saw my doctor this morning for a followup and he said everything seemed okay, now im a bit worried because theres alot i had to do today (chanhe my sons diapers, cook etc) maybe i over did it? If you have experienced this, any advice?

If it was a leak with your sleeve (internal) I don't believe you'd see this from the incision itself. That could just be discharged from the incision site as it's healing. If your surgeon saw it today and wasn't concerned, I wouldn't worry too much. Just keep it clean and dry, and keep an eye on it. If it's still happening, gets worse, or becomes painful, then I'd call the surgeon/doctor's office and have them check it again to make sure everything is fine and dandy.

The only thing I would be worried about would be infection. I would call my doctor just to let them know.

Your doctor said it was fine. Everything is fine. Don't overthink it and if you start feeling bad call your doc.

I agree with MissKay and boilernos ..but I'd like to add that if you develop a fever or it's warm to the touch, you should also call your doctor.
