I noticed this when Bandages were removed at home. I called dr office and sent picture. I was advised to pop so Fluid can drained, clean with antibacterial soap and pat dry. Anyone else get this?

My big incision got a slight infected and oozed clear/yellowish Fluid for days. Then it healed over but the fluid built up and since my scar was thick and the surgeon had to cut it open and then pack it. I had to pack it until it stopped having fluid.

pretty normal when your body is processing an injury and the dead cells get trapped under a layer of skin.

Makes sense. I drained the Fluid but don't like how it looks now.

It's going to look nasty/beat for a bit... it'll get better.

      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! 😞
