Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 6.5 weeks post-op... my incision is still open and being irrigated every day! it's still draining and the doctor says we cannot allow it to close because the fluid will build up (again) and infect (again) and explode (again). i still have sharp pains around the incision (open RNY - incision from my sternum to into my belly button). my neck is killing me because i have been hunching over for 6 weeks because it hurts my incision when i sit up straight or walk not hunched over. when will the pain stop? when will the wound stop draining???? i suppose i should look at the bright side: my actual stomach is fine.. i haven't trown up at all... and i am going potty... but the incision thing has really been a nightmare.
