I had my surgery on 9/25 and my incision seems to be healing pretty well but there's some clear fluid still leaking from it. Is this normal?

Did you have Open or Lap. regardless. Call and talk to the nurse at the clinic.

I have an incision that is still open and draining too. As long as the fluid is clear and not a ton it is probably ok. If it turns colors or is a lot then I would call ASAP!

I also have some fluid leaking from only one site as well as white thread.

As long as the drainage is clear and does not have an odor, it is fine. I had an infection in one of my incisionswhich had nasty green drainage that smelled bad. I also was running a fever. My incision is still draining and I had my surgery on 9/11, so you're not doing bad. Hang in there. Lisa

At week 5 my large incision opened up and I ended up in the hospital for 3 days. It drain for 4 weeks . THe doctor said as long as it is clear it was fine.
