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

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
