Small incision is leaking and raised bump



Recommended Posts

Hi folks, i was banded on 7 April - all went very well, and I feel like I'm recovering as expected.

My incisions have internal dissolving stiches, with demabond holding the skin together on surface. Four of the incisions are healing very well (including the largest port incision). However, one of the smaller ones is leaking clear Fluid, and has raised into a small bump. Perhaps I damaged it a little. I wonder if the bump means I will end up with raised scar tissue? Anyone else have a raised bump on their incision, and did it go away with time?

Its not the end of the world - I'm just curious and a little concerned if I need to go back to Doc, or just give it another week to heal.

I also noticed a new small weeping wound (like a burst blister) - this is not one of the incisions - looks like the skin was scraped post surgery (I didn't notice it until today).

Am I being overly obsessive? I'm so bruised.

Thanks

Luscious

That happened to me. I was banded in February and 6 weeks after surgery had that happened. It was an infection. I called the doctor and he put me on strong antibotics. I called on a Saturday and by Monday when I went to see him it was better.

      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!
