another incision question

I was banded May 18th. The little sattelite incisions are pretty much fully healed now. My largest incision seems to be coming along pretty good too, with the exception of a little spot in the middle that oozes just a bit. It's not dripping or anything major, just a small ooze, no odor, pain or redness. Is this normal, or should I get it checked out?

Hi, when I was banded on April 15th a week later I had some drainage out of the largest incision, but I kept running fluids out, it wasn't hurting or smelling or anything, but I did call the dr and they advised me to come in the next day... if you don't feel comfortable I would just call the dr and see what they have to say. I went in he cleanded it up and expalined that sometimes you have drainage out of the incision because it doens't have anywhere elese to go, something of that sort, can't remember everything, but he said just to be on the safe side he gave me some antiobotics for 7 days to make sure I don't get an infection and all was well. Incision is healing up very well and looks pretty good to be done had surgery. So just call the dr's office if you want to be on the safe side, I'm sure everythign is fine with it.

I agree you're probably ok but call your doc and check with him. It isn't uncommon; but that doesn't mean it isn't something that needs treatment.
