Bleeding/oozing at incision site

[mirmir 1]

Hello! I had my gastric bypass three weeks ago tomorrow- all of the incision are scabbed over and healing beautifully but one (this biggest one) is still occasionally oozing the bloody stuff that was in the drain. Should I be concerned? It’s just a few drops a day, There is no swelling, redness or pain. It’s a little uncomfortable and hard at times but I think it’s the location (moves a lot when I’m sitting/standing).

That sounds okay to me. When's your follow-up post-op visit?

I had the same thing went to my surgeon to double check and he said it’s normal for the main incision to get like that and take longer to heal. Just keep it dry and clean. I’m at 8 weeks and my main one welted up and drained and now it’s healing. But the others are golden give it time as long as it’s not green and smelly you are okay
