Re: fluid coming out of incision

[Guest guest]

I have had surgery on the arm and the gastic bypass. 10 tiny tubes where

inserted in my arm to allow drainage in the cast. And for the gastric

bypass I had a fluid pouch. When they removed my fluid pouch I was still

leaking...for a bettter sense of the word. Some nights I would wake up with

a wet incision. This is normal. Of course I was also told to keep a track

of how much fluids were discharging into the pouch.

-- fluid coming out of incision

Hi all

My husband woke me up at 2AM this morning because there was fluid

coming out of one of the incisions. We called the doctor and they

are calling the pharmacy to physcribe a anti-biotic. Has this

happened to anyone else? I'm a little concerned. The doctor claims

that this is pretty normal after surgery. Please let me know of any

experiences that you may have had that is similar. Thanks

I also had fluid coming out of my incision. I was actually having an

allergic reaction to the internal stitches. It took a couple of weeks,

but finally stopped " oozing " .
