Leaking from my drain site!



Recommended Posts

I felt like my pants were damp a couple of hours ago, so checked out the dressing covering my last drain site, and it was leaking.

It stopped after a bit, so I wasn't too worried when I called my PS's rooms and spoke to his receptionist. She said it sometimes happened, and not to worry, the drain will probably come out tomorrow anyway.

But now it's leaking again, and badly this time! The whole side of my pants is wet from it. It's pink, so not blood, but how am I going to sleep with me leaking Fluid everywhere?

Has this happened to anyone else? What should I do? I'm waiting for my PS's receptionist to call me back, but his rooms are going to be closed soon...

It's okay. My PS's receptionist called back and sent me to the hospital to have my drain removed. I still leaking but they've reinforced it with extra dressing to get me through to tomorrow, when my PS will check it out.

      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! 😞
