Pus in and around one incision?



Recommended Posts

Before I go any further, I have a message in at my surgeon's nurse line and I have an appointment next week.

Hi! I am a little over a month from my sleeve and one of my incisions (not one of them that should be imo lol) has pus in it and leaking out of it a little. It has been the slowest to heal and is still pretty red around the outside. It hurts a little, more than my other incisions for sure (which are all basically just scars now), but it's not crazy. Has anyone had this happen? What will they do for me?

Have you had your one month follow-up appt with your surgeon yet? He/she should look at those incisions. Mine healed fine, so I don't know what they would do if there's a problem.

My follow-up is next week, which is why I didn't just wait/have them look at it. Turns out they want me to come in today

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
